FIRST EDITIONS® TIANSHAN® will grow into either a large shrub or a little tree, depending on how it is formed. It is a more compact shrub than the typical species. The lower branches can be removed by pruning, to show off the attractive light brown, peeling bark. The white flowers are abundant and perfumed between the end of August and September, and the plant will stay decorative until October as the calyxes (star-shaped base surrounding the flower), turning pinky-red nearing autumn, will stay on the plant for 1-2 weeks after flowering. The lovely, elegantly veined and drooping leaves will turn a golden yellow in autumn.
