This deciduous small-to-medium tree offers an upright, spreading habit and is perfect for adding elegance to any landscape. Hardy in zones 5-8, it thrives in cool, temperate conditions and well-drained, moderately fertile, acidic to neutral soil. In the spring, showy white bracts surround inconspicuous flowers, creating a striking display. Fall foliage is a brilliant mix of red and orange hues, adding seasonal interest to gardens. This tree also produces small red fruits, which are attractive to birds. Deer-resistant and low-maintenance, it can reach a mature height of 20-30 feet, with a similar spread. Additionally, its broad, multi-stemmed form makes it ideal as either a specimen or accent tree for gardens or open spaces.
