Description

The seasonal interest begins in mid-to-late spring, when the tree completely smothers itself in masses of large, semi-double, pale pink flowers. These stunning blossoms emit a subtle, sweet almond scent and create a cloud-like vertical pillar of color, provided the tree is planted in full sun. The foliage offers its own dynamic show: fresh leaves emerge with a warm bronze tint in spring, mature into a crisp green for summer, and shift into fiery shades of orange and red as autumn arrives. Introduced to Europe in 1916 by the famous plant hunter Ernest ‘Chinese’ Wilson, this highly reliable variety proudly holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
