Overview

The small, rounded leaves are flushed pink when young but turn bright green in summer, then take on orange, red and yellow colours (this is more pronounced when it's grown on moist, acidic soils) in autumn. After the leaves are shed, they release a really sweet smell, which is similar to caramel-candyfloss - and this can stop you in your tracks each time you pass. The colourful and aromatic foliage more than makes up for the size of the pinkish-red flowers (they are tiny) that clothe the bare stems in spring. It makes a stunning specimen for the lawn, either with a single trunk or as a broader multi-stemmed tree.

Care guide

Requires minimal pruning. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in late autumn or winter. When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Larger pots (2L and above) are wrapped in waxed paper and then attached to a cardboard base so they stay stable in the box. The waxed paper prevents the compost from spilling out and gives the base some added protection from damp compost. For large numbers of plants, pallets may be used for shipping.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
