Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This gorgeous small tree is a Rocky Mountain native! A first-rate 25' tall by 12-15' wide tree that is able to fit into just about any yard. Slow-growing, it eventually creates a lovely oval form. Its deep-green summer leaves turn intensely brilliant shades of orange to red to burgundy in fall. This is a very tough tree which can also tolerate poor soil conditions. S/M
