A striking, small deciduous tree with snakeskin texture bark and young twigs taking on a gorgeous red tinge. The young variegated leaves have a pink, white and green colour, maturing to green and white. Clusters of small reddish-purple flowers may appear in spring. The combination makes for a beautiful decorative plant.
For best results, grow in moist but well drained soil in partial shade. Cut back long shoots in March to promote compact growth.
