    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A small tree, with lustrous green leaves that turn ruby pink in late autumn. Creamy white flowers (carnosus = flesh colored, if you're Caucasian, I guess) which are then followed by showy red seed pods. Native to northern China, it reaches 12 to 15' in height, and likes average to well drained soil.
