Parrotia persica “Persian Spire”

pitter-patter · November 2020

I’m looking at buying a parrotia, but don’t have any direct experience of the plant. It’s for my front garden, to contrast with the dark leaf elder. Do any of you wonderful gardeners grow this plant?

What I know: slim profile, height up to 3m, beautiful autumn colour, insignificant flowers in winter.

Is it worth having in a small garden?

I've just ordered this plant last Monday unfortunately it hasn't turned up yet. Looking forward to see it when it arrives hopefully its still got some autumn leaves on .

That’s nice, @Perki. I hope it will do well for you.

I love Parrotia persica...no room for big one.
So planted Parrotia persica Persian Spire March 2020.
Too early to add any helpful comments.
So far so good.

I believe its quite a newish variety so not that many people may have it yet . I bought it cause its so multi seasonal. I were expecting the autumn leaves to have more yellow in them unless that to come.
