Parrotia persica 'JLColumnar' JLColumnar Persian Ironwood

A tremendous selection of Persian parrotia that combines a spire-like framework with impeccable foliage. The strong growing plants welcome spring with a heavy dose of burgundy flushed and edged leaves. As the season progresses the color settles on rich deep green before autumn's cold air forces a transition to a riot of orange and scarlet-red. The versatile plants are strong growing with tight, ascending branches and can be expected to top out around 30' in height and 10' in width. Hedging and screening are obvious uses though use as a formal street specimen or vertical accent is also worth considering.
