Nursery contributed plant descriptions

?The more I see this form the more I question why it isn?t being grown? (Dirr) for it makes a magnificent, very columnar specimen, 50-60' x 15-20' like a golden flame in fall, but handsome anytime. S/M
Tightly erect (15-20 ft. wide x 60 ft. tall) in contrast to enormous monarch forest trees. Much better suited to landscape use as a result.
