  • Posted by Skiekitty (Denver Metro - Zone 5a) on Apr 14, 2014 11:08 AM concerning plant:
    A nicely growing tree. Has almost doubled in size in 3 years (from a little 4' tree to over 8'). Survives zone 5 w/o protection and doesn't get sunscalded in the winter. Newly emergent leaves are a deep wine color that green up slowly. Birds love the fruit in the winter.
