Boasts eye catching green and silvery-white striated bark that resembles snake skin Dark green leaves change to shades of vibrant orange in autumn Attractive yellow-green flowers in spring, followed by winged seeds Tolerant of all soils and conditions - plant in any sheltered spot and the tree will thrive The perfect choice for winter appeal in small and medium sized gardens Grows to a compact 7 x 3m within 20 years 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.MORE Our mature trees are grown in Air-Pots®, the only type of pot to completely eliminate root circling. A unique design stimulates air pruning for a mass of healthy fibrous roots, which results in a healthy tree that will establish quickly in your garden. With each Air-Pot® made to last up to 20 years, we reuse them on the nursery and wrap your mature tree in hessian for delivery - but if you’d rather keep your tree potted, simply add an Air-Pot® to your basket along with your tree.
