Red Cottonwood

Hardy tropical tree with a broad low crown, large heart-shaped leaves and bright sunny yellow flowers.

Rubra’s leaves are deeply-coloured maroon and plum, especially when young.

Ideal for hedges, screening and feature planting.

Withstands exposed windy sites but requires moderate watering.

Mulch and water well, prune after flowering and fertilise in spring.

To maintain a neat hedge, prune regularly or leave to grow naturally as a feature tree.
