| Description | Hardy and highly ornamental, this tree is a beautiful specimen, producing masses of gorgeous, fragrant double pink spring blossoms. Small, rounded purple fruits follow the flowers, accompanied by soft, narrow foliage with serrated margins which form a weeping habit. In autumn, the leaves colour up to a combination of burnt orange and reds before falling. | ||

| Uses | Fantastic feature tree. Great for small or medium gardens. Would go well as an avenue tree. Growing to only 6m in ideal conditions, it makes a fabulous small feature tree in landscapes where space is limited. | ||
| Position & Soil | Prefers well drained organic rich soils in a part shade position. A slightly acidic soil is preferred as it does not tolerate high pH. Also suitable for colder climate gardens, including frosts and light snow. | ||
