One of our most sought-after plant. A stylish, weeping tree, to 20', open and dripping with corded, rope-like branches and bright yellow foliage that is fragrant when crushed or even brushed. Stands along as an architectural specimen or fits well in a woody border. These are on their own roots, so no need to worry about suckering. Full to part sun and not much summer water once established. Cold hardy to 10 °F, USDA zone 8.
