This stunning deciduous tree is renowned for its vibrant early-spring display of pink, pea-shaped flowers, which appear on bare branches before the foliage emerges. It has a spreading, multi-stemmed habit and features heart-shaped leaves that unfurl in rich purple shades, transitioning to hues of orange, red, and yellow in the fall for a spectacular seasonal show. Hardy in Zones 5-9, it thrives in full sun to light shade and prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil. This tree matures to a rounded shape, reaching a height of 20-30 feet and a similar spread, with a mature weight influenced by environmental conditions. It is moderately deer-resistant, low-maintenance, and an excellent choice for adding intense color and structural interest to landscapes.
