What our Grower Colleagues Have to Say

Heritage Seedlings“Certainly a fantastic nursery plant in spring with a kaleidoscope of color dominated by yellow-gold and intense pink. With its small stature and rugged nature, it is a superb plant for modern gardens too,” explained Eric Hammond of Heritage Seedlings, Inc. “Coral Sun stands out not only in spring, but also in winter when the twigs are golden yellow. We really like this tree.”
