Parrotia
Latin Name : Parrotia persica
Grown particularly for its tremendous autumn leaf colour, the Parrotia will become a large deciduous shrub or small tree.
This image also shows how the more mature Parrotia has that capacity to shed its bark in random patches, much as the London Plane Tree (Platanus x hispanica)
The ‘new season’ leaf
The Autumn leaf before leaf fall.
Interestingly its leaf is Obovate in shape, which is growing broader as its width progresses towards the end tip, rather that Elliptic like a Cherry leaf
