Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This species is very vigorous and has almost a rocket-like habit of growth. Although eventually tree-like in habit (perhaps to 15'? we don't know yet), it remains rather pyramidal and doesn't take up too much space. It can also be cut back to make a more rounded shrub. Leaves are small and green, and white spring flowers occur among the leaves. It ought to handle at least 10 - 15 °F once established and perhaps lower.
