Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A richly coloured pile in autumn (Hillier), this tree eventually forms a lovely 6-10' mound of weeping branches clad, in fall, in the red ; gold colors of its parent... magnificent! Sun/Med
Some weeping trees can take over your landscape, but this one will simply add incredible grace as she matures and gently extends her branches downwards. Stunning in the middle of an open area as well as at the corner of the house, a lovely backdrop for the rest of the garden. Offers those parade-stopping fall foliage colors as well.
