In my next life, I am only going to sell trees with 'pink' or 'dwarf' in the name and I bet it's a grand success. Johnnie's pink is sort of pink in the spring, but then the leaves get brownish--no brown is a depressing word--how about 'mauve' and then green for the summer. Will stay under ten feet.
