Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Discovered right here at Forestfarm, the showy variegation of this spreading, 30-50' tree is beautifully variable with entire sections of leaves and different sections on different leaves all streaked with creamy-white; large white flower candles in spring make this tree even more festive; a delightful tree for lighting up a dark spot.
