Persian Ironwood is a very desirable and hard-to-find handsome tree specimen that usually has a single trunk eventually growing 20-30′ tall or a large, multi-stemmed shrub growing 12′-15′ tall. Oval to oblong leaves (to 4″ long) emerge with striking reddish-purple leaf edges in the spring.
The leaves mature to a lustrous medium to dark green in summer and change to outstanding colors of yellow, orange, and red offering an extended and magnificent show of color from September through November.
The interesting exfoliating bark displays green, white or tan patches when mature and provides very good winter interest. These trees are very hard to find and bring a lot of joy to those who have one or more growing on their land. These are large specimens and well established. Hurry, before they are sold out! USDA zones 5-9
