Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Sort of a large haystack of foliage in summer. Our original tree from Hollandia Nursery came to us in the 70's and is now 25'x 30' and never forms a leader. Makes a glorious show year around.

Although in culture for over 300 years at a Buddhist temple in Japan, this lovely tree is still somewhat rare; its arching pendulous branches resemble those of a weeping willow. S/M
