Strengths & Qualities
Beautiful small-medium tree (height 6 to 10 feet, considered semi-dwarf) offering many smallish red blooms.
Dense appearance due to profuse branching, with a broad canopy and elegant horizontal branches.
In mid-spring, this heavy bloomer presents inconspicuous yellow-green flower clusters surrounded by four showy dark rose-red bracts. These are followed by clusters of bright red berry-like fruits which are eaten by birds.
Its medium-green leaves turn purple-red in fall.
