Uses and cultivation

Cucumber trees make excellent shade trees for parks and gardens, though they are not recommended for use as street trees. In cultivation, they typically only grow 15-20m (50-75 feet) tall, although they reach over 30m (100 feet) in forest situations. However, they can become massive, with the national champion in Stark County, Ohio measuring more than ten feet in diameter (although only seventy-nine feet tall). They are tolerant of alkaline soils, but require it to be deep, moist, and well-drained. This tree needs protection from extreme wind and heat.
