Description

This hybrid plant, which grows to a size of 25' high and 20' wide, has long, slender branches and reddish purple leaves which turn to a greenish bronze color in the summer. The fragrant, pink to rose flowers double from February to April. There is very little, if any fruit produced by this tree. It is one of the most adaptable, medium sized flowering trees for lawn, patio, terrace or street tree usage. The blireiana grows especially well in planters and large tubs.
