No, you’re not seeing things - this geometric zig-zag pattern is all natural! The parent plant was actually found growing wild on the edge of a field in Virginia. Edible, fuchsia-colored flowers are borne directly on the bark in early spring before the heart-shaped leaves emerge. Attractive yellow foliage in autumn falls to reveal the symmetric, honey-comb structure in the winter, making this a great choice for four-season garden interest. Great for understory plantings or as a specimen. This small tree really brings home the “wow factor” and is the perfect architectural accent for your space.
