'Mt. Airy' (also listed as 'Mount Airy') - This form of Fothergilla is
widely considered to be the finest selection available. All attributes
appear superior, including larger flowers, clean blue-green foliage, strong
fall color (yellow to red) and vigorous upright growth habit to 8' tall. It
is widely available and probably should be selected over other forms if
possible.
