Although listed by some 'experts' as being a true variety, some disagree... oh well, here it is, you decide. The spring color is lime green, which will darken throughout the growing season... protect from summer's hot sun and give some wind protection as well.

Reaches 12'-15'.

The small, new leaves in the spring are edged in a lilting orange, and as the year progresses, the foliage will be speckled with yellow... As the tree matures, it will take on a slightly cascading form, in any form, it will be a great addition to any garden setting.

Ultimate growth is 8'-12' tall 4'-6' wide. Deciduous in the winter.

How's this for a name?... hmm... someone's been in the liquor cabinet... actually, the tree is very different... I guess... many foliage color changes starting in the spring with bright, red-pink... then a summer foliage of green-purple and THEN, it goes back to the spring color in the fall... 'nuf said.
