Notes
A highly ornamental tree with beautiful bright pink flowers in the spring before leafing out. Can be hard to establish and care must be taken in finding a tree from a northern seed source for success. Reserve for areas close to buildings and inside of courtyards where it can be protected from the elements. Black walnut tolerant.
