I cannot recommend highly enough--this is the best ornamental/fruiting tree I've yet discovered for the mountains of Colorado (7600' elevation). Very vigorous grower that tends to sucker - needs occasional trimming to maintain single trunk. Only possible problem is that it would probably naturalize its own grove if allowed. Striking colour really stands out next to aspen trees! Cyclic fruit seems to bumper crop every third year if you can beat the birds.

This is a great tree! Fast grower. Beautiful color that changes as the season progresses. Requires minimal maintenance and is very hardy.
