Know before you buy
This variety is unique because it blooms twice a year. You can expect delicate pink and white flowers in late fall and again in early spring, with each bloom cycle lasting three weeks or more.
At maturity, this tree reaches a height of 20 to 30 feet with a spread of 15 to 30 feet. Ensure you plant it in an area that can accommodate this width to allow for its natural, arching branch structure.
Yes, for the best bloom performance and healthy foliage, this tree requires a location with full sun. Planting it in partial shade may result in fewer flowers and a less vigorous growth habit.
While it is often described as having year-round appeal due to its glossy foliage and graceful branch structure, it is a deciduous ornamental tree. It will lose its leaves in the winter, but its elegant form remains a focal point in the garden.
Its arching, graceful structure makes it an excellent choice for patios or pathways. However, because it can reach a spread of up to 30 feet, ensure your space is large enough to support its mature size without crowding nearby structures.
