Parrotia persica: Persian ironwood solves modern landscape issues

摘要

Most newer home construction sites have two landscape challenges in common: smaller backyards and larger, showier front areas where utility lines can be an issue. Parrotia persica helps in both of these situations. P. persica can be grown as a small,single-trunked tree or a large, multistemmed shrub. Plants are upright and rounded with wide, spreading branches. Several trunks form for the shrub type. As a tree, it will reach 20-40 feet tall at maturity, but estimates are only 10 feet tall after seven to eight years. As a shrub, P. persica grows 15 feet tall.
