In a Nutshell:
* P. stenoptera is quite similar to P. fraxinifolia . The major difference lies in the shape of the wings on the fruit: reminiscent of the wings of the common fly, they are connected to the two sides of the walnut shaped fruit, which is about the size of a garbanza . The wings lie in two different planes.The fruits develop in the summer on 2.5 dm long catkins, hanging from the distinctly differently textured green foliage. The fruiting catkins are frequently considered desirable from a landscaping perspective.The foliage is dense, though it can be thinned by pruning. more...
* Prefers a sunny position in a rich strong loam with abundant moisture at the roots. Succeeds in areas that do not experience prolonged winter temperatures below about -12°c, but young plants and the young shoots of older trees can be cut back by winter frosts. Plants are tolerant of compacted soils. The leaves are resinous to the touch and emit a resinous aroma. more...
