Properties and uses:
This beautiful tree produces magnificent dark pink flowers on red stems in spring. It can be planted alone, in flowerbeds or in rows. It is particularly good for topiary and can be cut into numerous shapes, balls, cubes and rectangles.

Be careful the fruit is not edible. They are not the same as chestnuts.
