white ; April and May. Fruit ? ; rarely produced in England.
The young shoots and leaves are remarkable for their deep red, or mahogany
colour ; and the decaying leaves exhibit this colour much more intensely,
mixed with a fine yellow or scarlet. Altogether it forms a very
splendid plant, when trained against a wall; or, in warm sheltered situations,
as a standard. It is commonly grafted or budded on thorn stocks ; and it
also does well upon quince stocks. In the neighbourhood of London it flowers
between the middle of April and the middle of May ; but it has not yet produced
fruit in England. The largest and oldest plants are at White Knights,
where it was planted in 1804 ; and, in 1835, Ibrmed a large bush or tree,
nearly 15 ft. high.
