A fine ornamental tree with superb bark, slender growth and light shade. The glossy, smooth barks peel freely in sheets and scrolls; particularly effective when backlit by the low winter sun. A beautiful and much under-rated tree.
‘Bhutan Sienna’ has an attractive dark red bark with a brown tint and attractive deeply veined leaves.
