If item has 5 or less in stock, please request a quote to confirm availability with our nursery. We will get back to you within a day to provide a timeline to fulfill order.
A deciduous clump-forming tree valued for its attractive, exfoliating bark and naturally multi-stemmed, rounded habit. Bright green summer foliage turns yellow in fall, providing seasonal interest, while its arching branches create a graceful, airy form. Its tolerance for wet soils and occasional flooding makes it ideal for naturalistic plantings, riparian areas, or as a specimen in larger landscapes.
Valued for ornamental bark, adaptability, and low-maintenance growth, it grows best in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. Minimal pruning is needed, primarily to remove dead stems or maintain the clump structure.
