Description
Fast-growing, deciduous, polyennial tree with an upright habitus and well-branched, expansive crown. Of high ornamental value it becomes a focal point both in spring, when a multitude of white or slightly pinkish white elegant flowers appear before the foliage emerges, and during the autumn period in a foliage process where the leaves turn from deep green to shades of yellow or red. With its excellent versatility, it is suitable for urban and suburban green spaces, such as street trees and private gardens.
