This four-season beauty is prized for its dramatic springtime flower show and attractive leaves that turn bright red in the fall. When the leaves drop at the end of the season, it’s time to appreciate the beautiful branch structure and textured bark. And while they’re pretty adaptable to a wide range of soil types, they require the soil to be well-drained but moist to avoid the shallow roots drying out. Because of its naturally rounded shape, you won’t need to prune very often, but aim for late fall or winter if you decide to lightly shape it. This versatile tree is at home in smaller gardens or larger properties as long as you give it space for good air circulation, and its low-maintenance ways and delightful season-spanning beauty make it a favorite tree for many gardeners.
