With the look of a natural bonsai, this tree lends an Oriental garden appeal when it’s young. It grows in layered tiers with a distinct space between each set of horizontal branches. Each of these trees is unique and grows differently. After its Oriental garden youth, a young tree may develop a somewhat funky appearance. The foliage often grows into an irregular oval shape, with tops or shoots going out in odd directions. But all these growth stages will pay off as the tree matures to form a beautiful, well-shaped rounded crown. It’s covered with tiny yellow-beige flowers in spring, giving the tree the look of a pale brown sugar frosting.
