PALMATUM, red. There are reds and then there are reds , but this deep red from Whitney Gardens is outstanding. The new leaves unfold with a glowing red-purple which, viewed with the sun behind, radiates warmth and beauty. In midsummer the color becomes more bronze-red. With the cooler days of fall, it bursts into brilliant scarlet-red. The tree is vigorous and is medium upright shaped. Leaves are about 2" across, 5-lobed and cut all the way to the base.
