As these trees are seed grown there is considerable and interesting variation in the intensity of the autumn colours. The older stems have corky bark. A medium height tree, so expect a height of up to 6 metres (20 foot) after 10 years. This tree is supplied at a height of 1.25 metres in a 12 litre container for year round planting and better results than from either bare-root or rootballed stock. Message card included at no additional cost if required. Just add the information required on the card at checkout.
