Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Elegant, indeed, the gracefully drooping limbs on this pyramidal 40' tree have soft golden-yellow shoots in spring and it retains a handsome cream-green overtone all summer. The new growth is lighter and contrasts with the older darker foliage creating a bicolor effect; choice when planted against a dark background where it can really shine. PSh/M
