Congratulations! This is one of those all around trees (Redbay, Retama)
that look good in the environment and attract wildlife. This tree hosts
Palamedes, Spicebush and Tiger Swallowtail butterflies. You will enjoy
the tree and butterflies for years to come.

I'd allow 20 foot centers and plant no deeper than they were in the
container. The tree historically remains a shrub or small tree for a
long time and then the hormones kick in and it goes upwards. (page
