One of the most elegant ornamental trees available today.

Profuse, white flowers in early summer giving way to glossy, green leaves in summer and finishing up with orange- scarlet hues in fall with the added bonus of red berries that song birds adore, and with their fervent help there is little to no mess left behind. Its vase-like shape is both graceful and elegant, and the bark itself is very attractive.
