Notes/Description:

Large, deciduous tree 75-100' or more tall, with a large trunk and a broad, rounded crown of spreading and slightly drooping branches. This species has been planted as a shade tree and for shelterbelts. Although it is short-lived, it is one of the faster growing trees, which may help shade or or reforest a restoration quickly.
