When we came to South Jersey in 1985, a neighbor down the road had one in their front yard, which was on a corner. The tree was beautiful and very healthy. But for some reason several years ago the people had it removed. Now nothing is there but grass. I don't get it. Barry

I remember several years ago there was a blight of some type that infected them. But over the years they have come back. I still enjoy the blooms even though they were brought here to the U.S. from Asia and the Middle East.
