Parrotia persica

Parrotia persicaIf you are looking for incredible autumn colours, the Parrotia persica is the tree you need to plant in your garden. It grows to a large size and puts on a magnificent display when its glossy, deeply ribbed mid green foliage turns to fiery vivid yellow, then burning orange, and finally an intense red and purple colour palette.
