Chitalpa tashkentensis Cottage Will tolerate chalk to some

Will tolerate chalk to some degree but prefers acid to neutral soil

each tier is smothered in corymbs of showy white sterile flowers surrounding the smaller fertile ones

upright tree that will quickly grow to fill a yawning space

but avoid wet and/or heavy clay soils

second only to bamboo in China
