    This interesting 10-20' shrub/tree has tiny white flowers in spring and deep-green foliage. It is at its best in fall when hung with its long-stalked pendulous fruit. The rosy-pink pods burst open to show their colorful bright-orange seeds, becoming one of the most beautiful objects of autumn. Not to mention that is also produces bright fall color. S/M

    Our 10’ tree has big, pink fruit in August-October. Out of the deep pink fruit, spill orange seeds. The fall foliage will turn yellow-pink.
