Usually a shrub with branches starting at ground level, growing to become a medium-large tree with a spreading, irregular branching pattern. Sometimes also cultivated as a high stemmed tree. The trunk is light grey with purplish brown spots and has flaking bark plates. This is especially decorative in more mature trees. Young twigs have remarkable lenticels. The glossy leaf is dark when it emerges and usually has a slanted shape, with the top half of the leaf edge undulating irregularly. The main decorative value is the autumn colours of red, yellow and purple. Mainly older specimens bloom. The flowers are about 2 cm big and are striking due to the bright red anthers. The bare shrub is spectacular when in full bloom. After flowering, 1-cm spiked brown fruit appears. The tree has a fine root system close to the surface.
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.

Parrotia persica is average growing and can eventually reach a height of 7 - 10 (12) m, depending on the site and climate conditions.
The leaves of Parrotia persica turn yellow, orange, red, purple in autumn.
The right time to plant Parrotia persica is during the dormancy period. In Western Europe, Parrotia persica with root balls can generally be planted from mid-November to late April, although this depends strongly on the climatic conditions and the species of tree.
