Common Name: Persian Ironwood
Latin Name: Parrotia persica
Soil: Any fertile, moist but well drained soil
Position: Full sun or partial shade
Hardiness: Fully hardy
Flowering period: Spring & Winter
Flowering colour: Red
Eventual height/spread after 20 years: 8m/10m
One of the best features of the Parrotia persica is the unique grey flaking bark, which sheds more with age. It often has multiple stems which hold long, ovate green leaves. The leaves of this deciduous tree transform in stages throughout the autumn months; first vivid yellow, then burning orange, and finally to an intense red. In late winter, insignificant red flowers bring life to the stark branches, the flowers are followed in spring by the newly emerging leaves. The Persian ironwood tree has a wide spreading habit and is therefore suitable for a larger garden, particularly as a border tree. For the best autumn leaf colour, grow this tree in acid soil.
