The ultimate four-season specimen: summer flowers, fiery fall color, and spectacular exfoliating winter bark. A 'wow' tree to anchor a key view.
A focal point you can see from the house year-round — winter bark is the payoff.
Cool, moist, acidic root run; slow but trouble-free. Worth siting carefully — it's a forever tree.
Straight species.
Specialty nurseries; order ahead.
