It will tolerate dry periods, coastal environments, heavy soils, moderate frost, and some wind, though young trees should be protected while they are establishing. “Alba Variegata” is commonly included in a mixed planting, planted as a quick growing shelter tree, used for screening, or grown as a specimen. It also suits being used in revegetation and riparian plantings.
