A versatile award-winning cultivar, ‘Vanessa’ offers year-round enticements. The tidy, upright-pyramidal habit is distinguished by close-knit branches clad with handsome deciduous foliage that boasts a splendid fall finale of brilliant red, gold, plum and tangerine shades. For winter appeal, exfoliating bark reveals gray, green and cream-hued tapestry-like patches, while bee-friendly maroon-colored flowers lend an overall intriguing aspect before the leaves appear. Whether embellishing beds, borders, cottage gardens or open woodlands as a showy specimen, it’s at home in modern, informal or traditional settings. This easy-care, pest-resistant tree appreciates sunny and well-drained, moderately fertile sites, yet endures dappled shade, variable soil types plus city pollution. 10´ in 6–8 yrs. Large Band.
