Coveted, gorgeous, red/yellow and peeling bark tree. Evergreen yet broadleaved, this valuable wildlife tree hates to be transplanted, so pick the right spot the first time.
Keep those roots dry! No summer watering unless very young and during a very hot spell.
Fragrant white flowers in spring turn to red/orange berries that can persist into winter (making it an A-grade plant for birds).
