Description

This hybrid plant, which grows to a size of 25' tall and 20' wide, has long, slender branches and reddish-purple leaves which turn to a greenish-bronze color in the summer. The fragrant, double pink to rose flowers bloom from February to April. There is little, if any fruit produced by this tree. It is one of the most adaptable, medium-sized flowering trees for lawn, patio, terrace or street tree usage. The blireiana grows especially well in planters and large tubs.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
