Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A favorite... especially in fall when it blazes in orange blended with scarlet finery, this mounding 4-6' shrub starts out the year in silvery lime-green foliage arched upward on purple stems; deep green during summer. S-PSh/M
Ogurayama, as you can see, is a small round-headed tree; the leaves have a sort of gold cast in the summer, and altho this photo doesn't catch it, there is a lot of gold in the fall color. The leaves are a little more oblong and somewhat larger than Sode no Uchi.
