Information On Chinese Tallow

Hello all. I have been browsing your site for the last month or so and must say that I have found much of what I have read very useful. I am just a beginner (last year and a half) and still just trying to find my bearings. After reading my first Sunset book a year ago I did what I imagine most people do. Run out and collect something. I must have been lucky in that what I collected didn't die. Now I have four rather striking Chinese Tallow trees that I would like to insure thrive for many years. My problem is that I have been unable to find much positive information as to care of said trees. What material I do find is in regards to the full grown variety and its invasive qualities.The only bonsai picture I have found is from a club in Florida. If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Don't know this tree but sounds like it is unstopable. Has some decent characteristics
-interesting leaf shape
-good fall color
-super hardy
-easy to propagate

Downside
- a super aggressive root system
-leaf size somewhat large(may reduce well)
-considered a weed by some


Alot of unknowns on this one. The price was right though,right?
How bout some photos.
