Description

Description: An elegant upright pyramidal form, wtih glossy green leaves and large clusters of white flowers in the spring, and a orange, red and maroon fall color. It is very urban tolerant, suitable for street plantings and is a zone 4, but unfortunately invasive to Wisconsin.

 

Winter Characteristics:  Winter buds are large and wooly, and the branches have persistent fruit throughout the winter to spring. These grow to be 40' high to 15' wide.

 


Spring Characteristics: Spring buds appear fuzzy, and clusters of white flowers bloom quickly as spring arrives and temperatures warm up.
