This deciduous, twisted stemmed shrub usually grows to just 8-10′, and is a very unique and hard-to-find specimen. You want to plant this close for an amazing all season view. The branch form becomes even more noticeable in winter after leaf drop and provides great winter interest. Twigs are used by florists in flower arrangements. Be sure to plant in a prominent location in the landscape where it can be fully enjoyed. USDA zones 4 – 8
