20-30'+ tall, and a horizontal branching pattern, often wider than its height. Typically blooms in May & again in the fall. The spring fruit appears as clusters. Good air circulation is required. 'Cherokee Daybreak' is the cultivar pictured. White varigation is unique.

Take care to keep the hot sun off the trunks so as to prevent sunburn and blistering, and therefore borer attacks.
