Davidia involucrata 'Kylee's Columnar'

A lovely small or eventually medium sized tree, with a reasonable upright habit and masses of large white flower bracts in early summer once mature. This is more slender than the typical seed grown Davidia involucrata. Dark green summer leaves turning purple in autumn before falling.
