Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This 25-40 ft tall, evergreen from southern Korea and Japan is an excellent choice for a specimen tree. Not the cinnamon tree from which the spice comes, but a near relation with prominently veined, mid-green leaves that contrast nicely with dark conifers. Very upright, somewhat narrow, and easily underplanted. Thrives in full or part sun with normal water. Frost hardy to 5F, mid USDA zone 7.
