Happy tree Tuesday 😍
Parrotia persica grows swiftly when young, maturing in gardens to 30 m tall and 8–15 m broad, multi-stemmed and naturally somewhat congested but prunable to a single trunk up to 150 cm in diameter. The bark is smooth, pinkish-brown flaking/peeling to leave a mosaic of cinnamon, pink, green, and pale yellow patches in a similar manner to plane trees. The leaves are alternate, ovoid, often slightly lop-sided, 6–15 cm long and 4–10 cm across, with wavy margins; they are glossy green, turning in autumn to a rich purple to orange and brilliant red, often on the same tree.
I love photographing this species, especially in late autumn. 😍 4 replies
