It does seem to be quite inviting to bees, and birds.
This is a fairly new tree for us. We had a Chinese Tallow tree in our front yard for years. With it being an invasive weed tree, we knew that it had to be removed. Admittedly it took us several years to do it, because it was our only remaining shade tree, shielding our SSW exposure.
I knew I wanted something native to replace it with, and this was a standout on that list. It had all the properties I was looking for!
#1--Native
#2--Great for the 'critters'. Birds, butterflies, bees.
#3--Fast grower, but fairly small yard friendly size.(also working around power lines)
Seemed to fit the bill in trying to switch away from non-native invasive's to a more 'friendly' way to live.
