Persian Ironwood is a highly 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 quite beautiful shades of yellow, orange, and red offering an extended magnificent show of color from September into November.
The interesting exfoliating bark displays green, white or tan patches when mature and provides very good winter interest. USDA zones 5-9

This is a brand new Cherry tree introduction this year, and we are very excited about it! We have been growing this new cherry specimen for 3 years now and are very impressed with its strong new vigorous growth, and improved resistance to insects and disease. We are one of a very few growers in the United States growing this very special tree variety. It is a deciduous upright tree with a spreading crown, reaching both a height and width of 25 - 30 feet after 30 years of growth. We find that it is very hardy, and has minimal problems with either insects and disease. It is most comparable to its female parent, Prunus x yedoensis Yoshino, except for its larger size and noticeably large pink flowers.
