View prices and availability
Small but wide tree with very pendulous branches, creating a broad, weeping shape. The tree grows to about 6 m high and at least as wide. The first-year twigs are brown: the older bark is grey, peeling in strips when mature. The almost round leaf is bronze on emerging, turning blue-green in summer. The autumn colour is a splendid orange-yellow. As typical for the species, the falling leaf has a pleasantly spicy/cinnamon scent. Was discovered by Theodore Klein but named by Bob Hill of Louisville, Kentucky. Thrives in loose, preferably loamy soil. Poor tolerance to drought. The spring leaf is sensitive to night frosts. Primarily for use as a solitary tree in a large garden or park.
