Fabulous flamingo pink spring foliage is the hallmark of this flamboyant favourite. This is a very tall and slender trunked deciduous tree with fantastic pink leaves that hold their colour for most of spring. Late in the season, the leaves turn cream, deepening to green in summer. In the autumn they turn cream/yellow again before they drop off.
The young shoots and leaves are edible and in China, are widely used as a vegetable.
This hardy species is excellent as a copse tree, or in a deciduous screen. It is ideal for narrow spaces. It can reach a height of fiver metres and width of two metres. Cedrela is frost tolerant, heat and drought hardy and prefers part shade or full sun.
