This seedless tall tree is perfect for shade! This variety is tolerant to urban pollution such as planting near high traffic roadways. It is not particular on soil type, pH, and tolerates environmental salts.

Assiniboine will establish quickly and is visually pleasing with its heart shaped leaves and oval shaped canopy. Once mature, pruning can be done on the lower branches to allow for room for machinery or mowing underneath.

Although a perfect windbreak tree; it is not recommended to plant near a house, septic field or underneath powerlines.
