This upright-branching selection is quite a landscape showoff, with bird-enticing fruit in late summer and vivid red foliage that will brighten up your autumn horizon. Superb fall foliage color. Fruit attracts native birds for eating and for nesting shelter. Tolertes wet soils. Easy to grow and one of the best shade trees available.
