Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The most expensive plant Exuberant Garden's Dorothy Rodal ever purchased, having fallen in love with its scarlet seed pods that open to reveal dusky orange seeds -- just as everyone does who sees it. And now we have enough to share. A large, deciduous shrub to small tree, to 8-10 ft tall x 8 ft wide, with 3" leaves that turn a flaming, crimson red in autumn. The flowers in small, yellow-green clusters are not showy but produce the exquisite and abundant fruit that IS showy. Native to Europe and western Asia. Frost hardy in USDA zone 4.
