I've had one on the north side of my house, in a bed of rhody's for about 6 years. It is beautiful. I have had no problems whatsoever and it is growing at a normal rate.

All the reviews for the Jaquementii are pretty negative from what I read, said that not fit for landscaping because of the pest problems. I had one from Lowe's for half year now. It gorws good. Good wind resistant. The key is water it almost every day. My Jaquementii sarts to show white bark now.

This tree did not come up with a lot of leaves this spring, a lot of branches dried up. Can any body help? I do not see any bugs on it.
