Comments: This tree makes a great backdrop for your more dramatic
landscape elements! It is often used in street planting as it tolerates adverse growing conditions.
It grows in sun or partial shade, and makes a fine shade tree itself. The mature bark is rough and corky and the fruit is small and turns from orange red to
purple, just as leaves start to change in mid-autumn.
