    Of two trees originally planted At Mooring Hitch Gardens, only one survived the 2011 flood.

Stonehenge location will provide part shade which this tree will appreciate.

Spring leaves are bright orange-red when they first emerge and retain an orange undertone as they fade to a summertime red-green. The foliage color is enhanced by a second flush of orange-red new growth in mid-summer. Fall color tends to be in dramatic fiery tones of red and orange.
