Parrotia persica 'Persian Spire™' brings four-season interest to your landscape in a slender, upright form that fits smaller spaces. In spring, the new foliage emerges with a noticeable purple tint before maturing to a rich green for summer. As temperatures cool, the leaves shift to a blended show of yellow, orange, and red tones, adding strong autumn color without relying on flowers for impact.

As the plant matures, the bark becomes a highlight. It exfoliates in patches that reveal a mosaic of tan, green, and lighter tones, creating winter interest when the branches are bare. This cultivar is often chosen when you want the character and fall color of Persian ironwood in a more columnar silhouette.

Plant in full sun to partial shade for best growth and color. Provide moist, well-drained soil, and water regularly during establishment; once rooted in, it handles short dry spells better than many small trees. Allow room for its mature spread of about 8-10 ft (96-120 in) and plan for a mature height around 20-25 ft (240-300 in). Prune only as needed to remove crossing or damaged branches, typically after flowering in spring, and avoid heavy shearing that can spoil its natural form.
