Be the first to review this product


Product Description

A rare new columnar variety that is very much like Crimson Spire™ and likely to be just as popular in years to come. Perfect for row screening or vertical accenting and relatively fast growing for a hardwood. It's sturdy branches are resistant to wind and snow damage. The foliage may or may not persist through the winter but its dense branching structure helps preserve some privacy. Tolerant of a range of conditions that include poor soils and prolonged heat. Drought tolerant once established. Annual iron feedings help insure overall health and dramatic fall color.
Hardy to -40°F
Maximum Elevation: 6,000 ft.
