More Info
This cold-hardy flowering shrub produces mostly white flowers. It can be pruned to resemble as a small flowering tree if you wish.
To train as a single-stemmed tree: Select the straightest and strongest stem to use as the trunk. Stake the stem. Prune out additional stems, leaving 3-4 branches on the upper ¼ of the plant. Every spring, remove branches from the bottom ¾ of the plant and prune top to desired shape.
As well as training the plant, prune the plant early spring to remove non-productive growth and ground suckers.
For larger flowers in shrub form, prune to 10 primary shoots.

The benefits of bare-root trees
Our trees are delivered with natural bare roots which have been dipped in hydrating gel prior to shipment to keep the roots moist and healthy. As their abundant, fibrous roots aren't confined by a container, bare-root trees get off to a more vigorous start compared to containerized roots which typically need more time to adjust to transplanting. Bare-root trees typically surpass the size of larger containerized trees in only a few years.


Natural root (also called bare root) trees are shipped without soil around their roots. They are shipped when dormant in the spring and fall seasons. We dip the roots in a hydrating gel to keep them moist during shipping.
Potted (also called containerized) trees come in 4" containers.
