An excellent screening tree, with attention and trimming it can also make for a very handsome and impressive hedge. Evergreen and medium frost hardy, it will grow to 8 x 4m.

Suitable for: Group and specimen planting, hedging and screening.

Features: Foliage turning to brilliant red in winter and during drier spells.
