Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This fun contorted tree twists and turns all over the place. The leaves are glossy green all summer and will turn brilliant red in fall. Doesn't look like the plant will be too big (15').

The zigzag branches (corkscrew willow-like) of this 20-30' upright tree offer an amazing winter display after the vivid red leaves finish their amazing fall display on this almost-native wetland-loving tree. S/M-W
