Has rich pink-red bracts in May-June. This disease resistant plant will get 15'-20' tall. Great bright fruit in late summer-fall and it has beautiful yellow-orange fall foliage.
An especially lovely, multi-stemmed, small tree (20' by 20') featuring attractive clusters of shell pink bracts held above the branches in late spring. Splendid bright-red berries and deep orange to burgundy fall color make it a sight in autumn. The flaking gray bark adds an interest to the winter landscape. S-PSh/M
