Does any one have experience with the ruby vase cultivar.

This tree is classified in the witch hazel family hammamelidaceae. Related to witch hazel the oblong green leaves turn various shades of red orange and yellow in the fall often persisting into the winter months.

It is supposed to be a little more vase shaped than the vanessa. Ruby vase persian ironwood is an excellent choice as a street tree or a showy specimen for small spaces.

Persian ironwood or cultivors of ruby vase vanessa and persian spire parrotia persica the parrotia or persian ironwood is a curious and under utilized tree that deserves much more attention. Occasionally i come across something that exceeds my expectations and such is the case with the deciduous tree ruby vase persian ironwood parrotia persica ruby vase.
