The branching pattern and soil moisture adaptability, from wet to dry, gives it a spot in the landscape for those interested in oddities. Note that the contortion levels increase with more vigourous growth...so if it is planted for drought tolerance, it will not grow as well. This is probably best sited as a single specimen or accent plant.
