Description

This dependable tree quickly reaches 25'-40' high and 15' wide. It has an upright pyramidal form. Oval, glossy green leaves turn reddish bronze in fall. White flowers bloom in spring, densely covering the tree. 'Chanticleer' shows changes in the 4 seasons. It is drought tolerant once it's established. It's a great urban tree as it tolerates air pollution.
