Albizia Julibrissin ‘Summer Chocolate’ (PBR)

Fine, feathery foliage, emerges green but quickly turns red-bronze and then matures to a deep mahonagny. It also produces small clusters of spidery, pink-tipped cream blooms in late summer. Plant it where it will get lots of sun and a little shelter from the worst of the winter weather, in freely draining soil. A magnificent small tree that will add an exotic feel to the planting scheme, it has a lightness and delicacy that is quite beguiling.
