Plant description
The branches of this small tree are clothed with nodding clusters of larger than average white flowers in spring. At around the same time, fresh new foliage also starts to appear, initially a bright coppery pink, but turning mid-green as it develops fully. Further interest is added in summer when small black fruits appear, and then again in autumn, when the foliage turns red-flushed and butter yellow before being shed. This is a fine tree that will offer several seasons of interest throughout the year.
