About Parrotia persica (Persian ironwood)

Parrotia persica  - Commonly called Persian ironwood, is a small, single trunk, deciduous tree eventually growing 20-40' tall (but typically 10' after 7-8 years) or a large, wide-spreading multi-stemmed shrub growing to 15' tall. Apetalous flowers with dense, red stamens surrounded by brownish bracts appear in late winter to early spring before the foliage. Oval to oblong leaves emerge reddish-purple in spring, mature to a lustrous, medium to dark green in summer and change to variable shades of yellow, orange and red in fall. Flaking bark of mature trees exfoliates to show green, white or tan patches beneath and provides good winter interest. Small crimson flowers on bare twigs. Family : Hamamelidaceae
