Parrotia persica
Persian ironwood, Persian parrotia, Persian witch-hazel, Parrottia
Description
Polyennial deciduous tree with an upright habit. Appreciated during the warmer seasons for its dense, shady foliage, which becomes a focal point of high landscape value when, during the autumn foliage, it takes on hues in a wide colour range from yellow-red to scarlet to purplish. The blossoming on bare branches in early spring with small crimson-red flowers is also special. Suitable for different soil conditions, as long as they are well drained, it expresses good ecological resistance even in urban areas.
