This wonderful little tree gets oohs and ahs all year long, but especially in the spring as its chartreuse buds begin to emerge in a sparse fernlike pattern. The leaf pattern combined with the interesting branch structure gives a bonsai like feeling. It really is eye catching and a great centerpiece for your patio or deck. I suspect ours would be a little more full with more sun exposure, but the open growth is actually very attractive on this tree.
