Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A splendid narrowly columnar tree with deep-purple foliage that holds its color all season! This specimen can reach 40' to 50' in height and be only 10' wide which makes it perfect for tight spaces, as an unusual hedge or as a special specimen. The purple leaves turn a lovely bronzy-purple in fall and the interesting structure of the branching looks good in winter too. S/M-GDr
