This deciduous, flowering tree features a vigorous, upright habit with a slightly rounded canopy, reaching a mature height of approximately 18-24 feet and a spread of 15-20 feet. Hardy in Zones 5-9, it thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil. The showy white flower bracts appear in late spring, offering an elegant display, while the dark green summer foliage transitions to striking shades of red and purple in fall. In fall, it may produce small, attractive red fruits, adding seasonal interest. This tree is moderately deer-resistant, low-maintenance, and ideal for use as a specimen plant or in mixed borders. Its adaptability and refined shape make it a stunning addition to landscapes.
