Flowering occurs along last years branches in mid-spring on the previous season’s wood. Because the flowers point downward, they are partially hidden by the foliage and best viewed from below making a uniquely beautiful sight when in bloom. The pale yellow fruits are quite attractive as they hang down from last years branches.

Can function as a shade tree and flowering tree.

Fall Features:
yellow fall color and the bark, which peels off in large, flat scales. Two-to-four winged seedpods add interest in the fall.
