Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The silver-colored bark and glossy-green leaves on this 30' tree are pretty enough already, but then add clusters of pure-white flowers followed by abundant annual crops of persistent orange-red fruits that are showy all winter and you have a real Winter King! More to love is that this is a nearly thornless cultivar that has superior fall color, turning glorious shades of purple and red! Its tolerance of pollution also makes it a great tree for urban gardens. S/M
