Cultivation
Originally raised by Späth from seed from Turkestan, the tree is still occasionally found in Europe, including the UK, and North America. Introduced to Croatia from Italy, it can now be found in many places along the Croatian littoral. Also introduced to Australia, the tree was listed by nurseries there (as U. turkestanica) in the early 20th century, but it is not known whether it still survives in that country. In England, the tree succumbed to prolonged waterlogging on clay soils overwinter.
There are no known cultivars of this taxon, nor is it known to remain in commerce.
