This small, evergreen tree is often grown as a shrub.

As a tree, it develops a rounded crown; its new leaves open to red before hardening to green as they age.

Frequent pruning encourages glorious red foliage and makes it every bit as beautiful as Pieris formosa.

Lovely in gardens and parks.

It is mostly grown as a shrub but we grow it as a standard tree, mainly for stilted screening. 

Mature height: 5-10m
