consistent upright red. Its translucent deep red leaves, full habit
and excellent fall colour have contributed to its popularity.

Excellent colour retention and a full rounded habit make the
fireglow one of our favorite red uprights. Matures to 18 feet.

dense canopy. Selected for its purple-red summer colour. Breaks bud
about two weeks earlier than "Bloodgood"
