Young twigs are dark red. The leaves are oval to ovoid and approx. 8 cm in size. They are dark reddish-brown and retain their colour until late into the autumn. The tree produces a great many pink, single flowers. They are approx. 2.5 cm in diameter and appear from late March and in April, a little before or simultaneous with the emergence of the leaves. They are seldom followed by dark red fruit, 2 - 3 cm in size. For park and garden. The tree is used on open verges as an avenue or street tree. Requires fertile and humid soil.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from noviembre 2024.
