Report an issue with this species

Pterocarya x rehderiana is a large, deciduous hybrid tree offering lush foliage and deep shade. It prefers moist, well-drained soils and has moderate water needs and drought tolerance, although one parent performs best in wet, humid climates. This tree develops a large, potentially invasive root system and forms suckers, which are important considerations for urban planting.
