    This stunning 25x25' upright, multi-stemmed tree has wonderful year-round interest! Deep-green foliage emerges in the spring. Summer brings not only 2-4" masses of bright-white flowers, the gorgeous, showy, cinnamon-colored bark exfoliates in long sheets to reveal the smooth inner bark of pale-copper. In autumn, the green leaves turn a rich golden-yellow. Finally, in winter, the bark is revealed to be a mix of smooth bark and some strips of shaggy bark left to lend texture. This is truly an exquisite specimen. S/M
