‘Emerald Queen’
Rapid growth and great form are advantages matched by few
other shade trees. The dark, glossy green foliage adds the
third dimension needed to make this a good choice.

A fast grower with a columnar habit, makes this a good choice for a narrow
planting space. The gray bark and dark green leaves make a pleasant contrast.
Expect scarlet fall color with some variation, depending on soil acidity.
