Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A very impressive and handsome tree found in Geneva, Switzerland known for its large upright clusters of double white flowers which bloom later and over a longer period than the species, this form is also fruitless, so no mess, a 40-80' rounded tree with a nice form for the landscape with its somewhat taller and narrower habit; a fine shade tree and accent.
