Lovely violet-brown wood, remarkable in autumn and winter. The young reddish leaves become green then red brown in autumn. Any soil, even if dry for short periods and chalky. Seedling of the botanical garden from the 'Sibirica' variety, named by Eduard August Von Regel in tribute to his friend and ex-associate, Kesselring, a swiss nurseryman, originally from Saint Petersburg, director of the botanical garden of Darmstadt (DE).
