Beautiful form and graceful branching combine with satiny, silver bark. With some maturity, bark peels to reveal a cinnamon-brown layer that brings a delightful texture to the landscape. Rich, lime green foliage turns yellow in fall. Durable tree with the ability to thrive on moist sites. Great for erosion control.
