If I could have one in my garden just for the winter, I'd have one again. In summer, they are too much a magnet for japanese beetles, although I like them okay anyway in summer. But, winter interest is FANTASTIC!

Oh, deschazkody, I was in NO way denigrating your new plant. Please, I'm Sorry, I was just venting some of my frustration for mine when I had such high hopes when I bougtht it.

I'll second that on the beetles. It must be like ice cream to them. They swarm mine. Doesn't hurt it though. Just makes it look bad. I guess I could always spray them, but it's too much trouble to me. I guess if I'm going to have to put up with these stupid moles, the least they could do is eat MORE jap beetle larvae! ;)

hczone - great pic and perfect example of why they're a great little tree to have in the yard. Winter interest is what they bring with their silhouettes. Not much too look at when all leafed out though.

I wish mine had those dangling catkins in the spring but hasn't yet. Maybe they have to reach a sexual maturity ??

Not sure...but maybe it does just need another year or two before they show up.
