Description

Japanese styrax is widely appreciated as one of the prettiest small trees available, and Marley’s Pink styrax gilds the lily with beautiful pink flowers instead of the typical white, and an elegant weeping habit. Glossy green foliage turns bright yellow in fall on this truly sweet and useful tree. Developed by John Lewis of JLPN Nursery in Oregon.
