    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This striking form of the May Tree is best appreciated in wintertime when its twisted and contorted corkscrew-like branches form a gorgeous zigzag pattern against a winter sky. Beautiful in leaf as well with its small, twisted dark-green leaves. White spring blooms are followed by showy bright-red berries which persist after the leaves drop. A wonderful yet slow-growing 10-20' conversation piece, it can be held in a large container for some time. S/M
