This stunning ornamental tree features deep purple leaves which become a copper colour in the autumn months A strong, single-stemmed trunk with a spreading crown that offers dappled shade beneath the canopy Fully hardy, this tree can easily withstand temperatures down to -20°C A true statement tree whose sizeable stature (up to 30m tall) and striking colour makes it perfect for large gardens Small catkins appear in April and May Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth
