fragilis f. Vitellina ‘Flanders Red’

A selection probably made in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking area of northern Belgium. ‘Flanders Red’ has new foliage flushed red and egg-yolk yellow stems that turn red late in the summer and stay that way all winter, so it’s red in a couple of colorful ways. This is a female selection with slender green catkins 2-3in long. Can grow into a large tree, but best if coppiced regularly to keep its colorful ways forever young.
