In its native forests, "S. sinensis" has been known to achieve a maximum height of tall by broad but it rarely achieves these proportions in cultivation, which has led to its recommendation for use where larger trees are unadvisable, e.g. under power lines.
In its native forests, "S. sinensis" has been known to achieve a maximum height of tall by broad but it generally does not achieve these proportions in cultivation, where competition for sunlight is less of a concern. This has led to its recommendation for use where larger trees are unadvisable, e.g. under power lines.
