  Its a very attractive tree and I wanted it badly so I researched its needs a
closely as possible and aside from the tap root subject,it seems it must have
deep, acid soil,which disuaded me from attaining it as locally our soils are quite
the opposite.So I envy you,but perhaps you could confirm that those requirements.?
