Wisconsin Red™ is a hardy, small-sized native tree with a dense, broadly oval canopy and rich, orange-red fall foliage. Its distinct, smooth, sinewy bark resembles muscle tissue, adding ornamental value throughout the year. This versatile tree is adaptable to a variety of soil types, including mildly alkaline and wet-mesic sites, making it ideal for rain gardens, woodland plantings, and small residential spaces. Its seeds, buds, and catkins are a food source for local wildlife like birds, foxes, and squirrels, while its dense structure provides excellent shelter.
