Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Deciduous, naturally dwarf, multi-stemmed tree with horizontal spreading branches. New foliage is purplish-red when it emerges in the spring, matures to green, then changes to yellow in the fall. Rose-pink flowers in the spring are followed by small dark red fruit, which matures in the fall and persists into the winter. Can be used as a specimen, but more effective as an informal hedge or in a group. Has excellent disease resistance. Growth Rate slow
