    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A great choice where a smaller tree is needed. This densely pyramidal (to 25' tall by 15' wide) with its snazzy deep-purple foliage contrasts well with green plants. Its compact size could nicely fill a tight spot or line a drive where, in fall, it turns a magnificent rich maroon-red-bronze. S/M
