Description | This variety can be used as a shrub or small tree. Foliage has red tinges when young and matures to a shiny dark green, with autumn foliage providing a colourful display of orange, red and maroon. Stunningly beautiful and free-flowering, masses of violet-purple flowers appear from summer through to autumn. Bark provides further interest as it peels, creating a mottled effect on the trunk. We grow this tree with a single trunk. | ||
