===Habitat:===
Moist, sandy soil, often swamps (usually coastal),

===Description:===

===General:===
This is a very ornamental plant, and quite a quick grower, but
because of the size that it can reach, it is usually best planted in
open spaces (unless you're quite handy with a pruning saw to lop out
the occasional trunk).

===Culture:===
Full sun, and lots of water (likes to be able to get into ground water).
Also reasonably cold tolerant.
