Description
The ‘Canada Red’ is a fantastic garden specimen that offers changing interest in different seasons. New leaves shoot through as a rich green colour, but they quickly turn to a vivid shade of purple-red in early summer. As new leaves shoot through, the purple leaves make a beautiful foil and the contrasting colours really stand out. The flowers are small and white in colour, and the fruits are dark purple. This is a wonderful choice for planting as a feature tree and it also works well as an avenue tree.
