A compact, rounded tree with a spreading habit, this variety offers year-round interest and is a favorite among landscape designers and gardeners. Hardy in zones 4 through 8, it thrives in cool to moderate climates with temperatures ranging from -30°F to 20°F. In the spring, it delights with abundant white blossoms that attract pollinators, followed by small orange-red fruit in the fall, which provides winter interest and food for birds. The tree’s foliage remains a glossy green through summer before turning a soft yellow in autumn. It reaches a mature height of 15–20 feet and has a moderate width of 15–20 feet, forming a pleasing, rounded shape. Best planted in well-drained, fertile soil, this tree is moderately resistant to deer and highly disease-resistant, making it a low-maintenance choice for gardens and landscapes.
