    • Additional Information

    'Royal White' is known for its abundant white flowers and cold hardiness. This cultivar's white blooms are larger than those found on 'alba' and it is the most cold hardy form. A fine small tree that is relatively trouble-free and drought-resistant. Requires some protection from the sun in hotter climates, however flowering decreases with deep shade. Canker, leaf spot, and verticillium wilt can be problematic for older trees, or trees weakened by other environmental stresses. Due to genetic variability, be sure of seed source. Long tap root means that older plants transplant poorly.
