Parrotia persica is a slow-growing, deciduous tree or large multi-stemmed shrub reaching 20-40 feet. It features a rounded, spreading habit and spectacular exfoliating bark that reveals patches of green, white, and tan. The glossy green leaves emerge reddish-purple, transforming into brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and red in autumn. Thriving in full sun and moist, acidic soils, it is highly tolerant of drought and urban pollution, making it an ideal specimen for lawns or streetscapes.
