Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Magnificent! This is truly one of the most beautiful of all of the large weeping trees. Reaching 70' tall and spreading 40' wide, this is an upright round-headed tree with gracefully weeping branches. Long-stemmed, deep-green heart-shaped leaves with their silver-backs make a singularly elegant picture. Pale-yellow, highly fragrant summer blooms are an added treat. S/M
