Health and Environmental Benefits: The tree helps improve air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Its dense foliage provides shade, reducing heat and creating a more comfortable micro - climate. It also attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies, contributing to ecological balance.

Prune minimally after flowering to maintain its shape and promote healthy growth. It is relatively resistant to pests and diseases but monitor for common issues like aphids.

Other Characteristics and Advantages: It has a relatively fast growth rate, allowing for quick establishment in new landscapes. The long - lasting pink blossoms provide a prolonged period of beauty. Its evergreen nature ensures year - round greenery and interest in suitable climates.
