Dancing Oaks Nursery, Inc
Common Name: Franklin Tree
A rare and interesting small tree, to 20' now found only in cultivation. The large leaves are lustrous green above and pale beneath in summer and turn to scarlet crimson before dropping in the fall. Lovely, creamy white cup-shaped flowers open during hot, late summer days continuing on into fall some years. It's a striking show: white flowers at the same time as the scarlet foliage! Native to Georgia, but hardy to Massachusetts. It is not a fast grower and prefers moist but well drained, acidic soil.
