Parrotia persica
(Persian Ironwood)
Parrotia persica is a highly ornamental tree, that makes a great year round feature with something to offer in every season (especially autumn and winter).
In winter the bark of mature trees exfoliates in thin scaly plates (like a plane tree) to reveal red/orange paths of colour. In late winter/early spring red flowers appear. In summer the tree has lustrous shiny green leaves, and autumn brings one of the finest displays to be seen on the nursery, with vibrant hues of yellow, red, orange and purple.
Parrotia persica is available from Deepdale Trees as a standard, multistem or feathered tree.
