Description
Light green new foliage darkens as it matures before turning fiery shades of orange and red in autumn. This tree has slightly curved branches that are shrouded with cup-shaped, scented white flowers in mid-spring. This tree has a uniquely beautiful shape as its spreading branches reach out to form an almost ‘flat topped’ crown. The ‘Shirotae’ is a good tree for a small to medium sized garden and will become a real focal feature of your garden.
