Comments:
Patches of cream and apricot bark gracefully peel from the trunk revealing salmon and brown coloration beneath. The very small growing tree is an excellent choice where space in limited. It may be used as a deciduous hedge. Has good fall color. Nice tree to feature at close range like on a patio or planted in an entrance court.
