It took 6 years to get it to bloom but it was worth it. Will test this variety for breeding purposes in 2018 by allowing it to set some open pollinated seeds, use as seed bearing parent in controlled crosses, and by using its pollen. I think this one will be a good parent to use if the goals include cold hardiness and/or disease resistance. Color is amazing and the fall foliage is spectacular.

This seedling will bloom for the first time in Spring 2018.
