From the book:
FRANKLINIA
F. alatamaha requires a sheltered woodland position in a very mild and favourable locality. It naturally develops an upright habit, and may reach a height ol 3 m. (10 ft.) or more. Specimens often display a tendency to branch from near the base, but there is no need to restrict growth to one stem. No regular pruning is necessary, apart from cutting back any growths from sheltering shrubs that overgrow it and compete for light. This should be done carefully to conceal the cuts, and to leave an informal effect.
