Hi Steve,

I can't imagine a worse plant near a walkway (from the plant's point of
view).  Xanthoceras is the most brittle bush I know of.  Plant it away from
any traffic.

Hello Steve,
    TN is a long way from NJ but here is our experience for what it's
worth.  We planted maybe 15 seedlings in deep bottomland along a creek.  The
flowers are beautiful but those that bloomed early were subject to late
frosts.  And the humidity here caused foliar damage.
    Ours might have reached 10 ft. in 10 years but branched low down.  It
would have taken some training to keep the branching at 6ft.     Hector
