What conditions are needed for a pink siris tree?

[papillon]

Following my astounding success with the Gingko Biloba trees, I have now sprouted some seeds I collected from a Pink Siris tree while I was on holiday. I don't know much about these: what soil they need, do they need a lot of sun and can they tolerate very cold winters? I guess they like hot summers as there were lots of them growing quite happily in the south of France.
