Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This amazing plant comes from the Esk River in New Zealand. We first saw a plant (one) at Buchholz Nursery about 30 years ago. I knew not to ask availability over several years. I kept seeing more plants but not for sale. I finally asked for one plant for our garden. Talon gave me a plant which is now 30'. The foliage is flecked with pink with a purple color under the leaves making a stained-glass effect. A beautiful and striking tree.
