Read detailed description :

Mythical tree with original large white bracted flowers at the beginning of summer, that may grow to 14 to 16cm. They appear on trees only having aged at least 10 years. Growth is quick on young trees, then slows. A good tree for shade in a cool, rich, well-drained soil. Plant while young and don't move it.
