This new selection was found as a chance
seedling at Shiloh Nursery. It is a very fast grower reaching perhaps 25';
but we really don't know since the parent plant is still young. It has
beautiful, exfoliating bark like the species, and it is very tolerant of
difficult sites. Yellow fall color. Zones 4-9.
