In spring, the tree is covered in profuse red to light-pink bracts. The spring foliage also has a pink blush. Summer foliage has a light yellow-green variegation around a deeper green center. More drought-tolerant and disease-resistant than the straight species.

Grows best in well-drained acidic soils in part sun with regular summer water. Benefits from 2-4 inches of mulch to retain moisture. Variegation is stronger with heat and light and develops through the season. The second photo of the full tree was taken in early September. 

Note on growing in full sun: Our mature tree, planted in full sun, is quite drought-tolerant, and its variegation looks far less sunburnt than most of our other variegated trees; however, in our new summers, when rain is scarce, a young tree will struggle till established with crisped-up edges from August till the fall. 

Mature size: 25 ft T x 20 ft, 10-15 ft T x 8-10 ft W in 10 years.

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
