A tree for all seasons, this early-blooming classic greets spring with rosy-red flowers. Purple-tinted leaves soon follow, maturing to deep purple and warming to regal bronze green in summer. An abundance of tiny maroon fruits persists into winter, providing seasonal interest until harvested by hungry birds.
