Very robust.  Forms large patches.  Given its potential to be very tall, it may needs to have support from adjacent plants.   Data on salt tolerance comes mostly from northern sources where the source of salt is winter road de-icing. Background plant as tall.

While it naturally occurs in or near wetlands, this tree can also grow in uplands. Stems root readily and most of the stems stuck in a moist substrate will survive without any further care. Is often used in stream bank restoration. Plant along streams or in informal landscape settings along ponds or canals.
