small tree generally 15-25 ft tall x similar spread (much smaller for many dwarf cultivars)
slow to moderate growth
generally hardy (most cultivars zone 5-8), but central MO's hot, humid summers and heavy clay soils mean afternoon shade, soil amendment, and good drainage give the best results
low, dense, rounded, layered canopy with spreading branches; many upright, weeping, and dissected cultivar forms exist
