Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Profuse flowers drenched in violet-pink and vibrant deep-purple leaves make this 15-30 ' tree an incredible show in spring! The foliage matures to a lovely bronzy-green in summer before turning a warm amber color in the autumn. Edible ½" maroon-red fruits are good for making jelly or if left on the tree, songbirds. S/M
