Greensleeves’ foliage is unusually shiny, waxy, and weathers well through our long growing season. Flowers are prolific, showy in early summer, warmer, creamier than the typical kousa. Fruit are large, salmon colored, attractive against the green foliage, and are reportedly desired by wildlife, dogs and extra hungry humans. Good red and purple-red fall color reported. This vase shaped flowering tree should mature into a 4 season asset, when the bark develops the kousa coloration.
