Parrotia persica 'Pendula' – Parrotia persica 'Pendula'

View prices and availability
Small weeping shape that does not naturally make an ascending trunk but grows with many widely drooping lateral branches. Height approx. 1.5 m and significantly wider. After many years it can attain height of 3 m. In culture, ‘Pendula’ is usually grafted onto a stem from which the branches cascade like a waterfall. The tree will then become taller. The green leaf turns light yellow to somewhat orange in autumn. The blossom is the same as the species but ‘Pendula’ hardly blossoms. It therefore bears little fruit. Unusual tree that deserves a conspicuous site as park or garden.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
