In the early 1960s, 'Jacqueline Hillier' was found thriving in a garden in Birmingham, England. This slow-growing dwarf variety features a bushy shape and small leaves, making it a favorite among bonsai enthusiasts. When left unpruned, it can reach heights and widths of 6 to 8 feet. Its beautiful foliage transforms to a vibrant orange in the autumn and is resistant to Dutch elm disease.
For optimal growth, plant it in full sun to light shade within moist, well-drained soil. It is ideal for small gardens, rockeries, low hedges, and bonsai arrangements.
