Read detailed description :

This tree, with the well tiered branches growing hoizantally, giving it a superb silhouette, is reminiscent of oriental pagodas or wedding cakes. The luminous green leaves are bordered with white, making a very attractive effect. In autumn the colours turn a light yellowy-pink. In May, bunches of creamy-white flowers appear above the variegated foliage. Can grow to 8m in 40 years.
