Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Looking like a running flow of molten lava in autumn when the gracefully arching limbs of this wide-spreading weeper (to 15'h x 20'w) are completely covered with bright red 1/2" fruit, it is a handsome sight in spring as well when covered with pink buds opening to white flowers, bright green disease-resistant foliage turn golden in fall; a stunning specimen tree.
