Growing usually on the margins of sandy bogs and on moist sandy hillsides, 
this tree varies, according to the moisture it obtains, in the size of the leaves 
and in the amount of the pubescence on the branchlets. The bark on trees 
growing in wet situations is smooth and pale, but on trees in dry soil or higher 
on the hillsides it is dark and Siete the leaves are smaller and the branchlets 
are less pubescent.
