Young twigs are dark red. The leaves are oval to ovoid and approx. 8 cm in size. They are dark reddish-brown and retain their colour until late into the autumn. The tree produces a great many pink, single flowers. They are approx. 2.5 cm in diameter and appear from late March and in April, a little before or simultaneous with the emergence of the leaves. They are seldom followed by dark red fruit, 2 - 3 cm in size. For park and garden. The tree is used on open verges as an avenue or street tree. Requires fertile and humid soil.
