Product details

This tree has large round leaves which are thick and slightly heart shaped, it is most notable for its fantastic display of autumn colour which ranges from crimson, to red, to yellow, to orange and golden.

The dark red flowers are displayed on the bare stem during the winter time, they are similar to Hamamelis flowers; incidentally this tree was formally classified as a species of Hamamelis.

The bark becomes more and more mottled yellow as the tree matures, being grey-brown when the tree is young.

Parrotia persica is native to Iran and the cultivar 'Vanessa' produces a regular shaped broadly pyramidal tree at maturity.

It is a reliable tree which will thrive on most soils, including chalk.

Despite being small in stature, this tree is perfect for planting as a feature tree in gardens and parklands and will produce a reliable display of a spectrum of colour in the autumn each year.

If the planting scheme requires an injection of colour in the autumn, this is one not to be missed!

Mature height: 3-7m
