Shirazz

A brand new high demand variegated cultivar from New Zealand. It resembles the Itame nishiki but with much more color especially in the red areas and a much larger more open form and larger leaves..also Geisha Gone Wild and other such variegates . This tree has shown to be very hardy and ok in some sun and a winner among those that spent big bucks to buy it early in it's USA introduction period . I now offer it in many sizes at down to earth prices. The photos are by Bill Andrews of Massachusetts of a tree in his yard.This tree does dull out in the summer .. but what JM doesn't in spring and fall it shines
