Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A wonderful introduction from Holland, this 40-60' tree offers true four-season interest. Finely textured, heart-shaped, glossy green leaves in spring and summer and intensely fragrant, creamy-yellow summer flowers clusters. Foliage turns butter yellow in autumn before dropping to expose the bright- orange bark for winter interest; younger twigs are more colorful than older branches. S/M
