A medium-sized vigorous tree. In all respects larger than H. carolina. Branches and trunk are grey and older trunks flake off. The older branches bend, but the tree has a considerably narrower crown than H. carolina. The green leaves turn yellow in the autumn. The pendulous, bell-shaped flowers resemble snowdrops, are approx. 2.5 cm in diameter and occur in axillary bundles. They appear in particularly large numbers in the spring at the same time as the new leaves. The oval fruit has 2 to 4 longitudinal wings and hangs on thin stalks. They turn brown after ripening and remain hanging on the tree for a long time. The roots go down deep and are very hard. Halesia much prefers a humus-rich, lightly humid soil. It also grows well in acid soils.
Halesia monticola can eventually reach a height of 15 - 20 m, depending on the site and climate conditions.
Halesia monticola is среднерастущий and can eventually reach a height of 15 - 20 m, depending on the site and climate conditions.
The leaves of Halesia monticola turn желтый in autumn.
The right time to plant Halesia monticola is during the dormancy period. In Western Europe, Halesia monticola with root balls can generally be planted from mid-November to late April, although this depends strongly on the climatic conditions and the species of tree.
