This tree can tolerate some shade, but it prefers open sun with well-draining soils. It has a gnarled appearance and a thicket-like growth habit that wildlife love. Sandy, full sun sites will encourage a more shrub-like form, while average soils with part-sun exposure will encourage a more typical tree-like form.
