After all the enjoyment it provides you, it's time to reward your landscape with some bling! Rosy red buds appear in the early spring, clustering along the very branches of your tree, exploding into fluorescent pink blooms before the foliage arrives!

Lovely heart-shaped leaves emerge a brilliant gold and age green gradually, causing an ombre effect as new growth continues to remain gilded on the branch tips! The effect is utterly eye-catching!
They then revert back to their golden yellow in the fall for a fond farewell! But that's when the bird-friendly, flat seedpods arrive for fall and winter interest! These airy trees with their graceful, multi-stemmed branching can grow 15-20 feet in height with a 12-18 foot spread at a moderate rate.
