According to\u00a0Dr. Allan Armitage<\/a>:\u00a0“They should rule\u00a0the garden”\u00a0since nativars can provide the best of both worlds: a\u00a0landscape improved by the ecological impact of natives and a way to address problems that usually plague certain native species.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Comments from
the Breeder Source<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u201cI always loved Parrotia as a plant”, commented John Lewis, owner of\u00a0JLPN<\/a>\u00a0and Persian Spire breeder.
“In trying to sell\u00a0Parrotia persica, it had great fall color, but nothing special beyond this single characteristic. \u00a0Now we have a Parrotia cultivar that brings something else to the table – upright, fast growing, and spring growth with purple edges which can be grown as a tree or a shrub.”<\/p>\n
