Morning Cloud Chitalpa
x Chitalpa tashkentensis 'Morning Cloud' from Monrovia.com
Today we dug out the toasted flowering cherry tree and planted a chitalpa in its place.
Description: Small, multi-stemmed deciduous tree with ascending branches, becoming slightly cascading. Long, narrow, bright green leaves back large clusters of trumpet-shaped white flowers with purple throats. Full sun. Fast-growing to 25 to 30 feet high, equal width.
It takes heat and drought and gives shade without getting too big. Perfect.
