It favors shade over the direct sun and with fertile soil and ample moisture it will grow a little faster than in other conditions. It is usually slow growing at 13 feet per 20 years. Also, it is common in forests and is easily identified by its distinct leaf and smooth off-white bark which is iconic for heart-shaped carvings.
