‘Elizabeth Lustgarten’ is a beautiful, vigorous, and floriferous weeping selection. She reaches approximately 15 to 20 feet tall and 12 to 18 feet wide, with gracefully arching and weeping branches clothed in lustrous, dark green leaves that turn to vibrant shades of red in the fall. In late spring, she features a plethora of large, 4 to 5-inch-diameter, 4-petaled, star-shaped flowers with white, pointed petals that nearly cover the foliage on mature trees. The flowers are followed by numerous clusters of strawberry-like fruits that mature to a red color in summer, persisting through fall.
