    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    The twigs of this remarkable 15-20' shrub have pronounced corky wings that are especially interesting in the winter time after the spectacular pink-red autumn leaves have dropped to them off; this shrub has an elegant horizontal branching pattern and the branches are lovely when used in floral arrangements. S/M.

    A vigorous, deciduous shrub well known for flaming scarlet foliage in fall. Green in summer. Most distinctive are the "corky" wings, or ridges, along major branches, providing visual interest in winter.
