Wonderfully adorned with masses of soft white flowers in early summer; pale-green in spring, the summer foliage of this fine specimen is brushed with a light white-wash giving it an ethereal glow. This lovely multi-season beauty is pretty dressed in its pink to rosy-red fall finery. This lovely 15-25' tree makes a wonderful specimen; it was developed by Gary Handy. S-PSh/M
