Fire King™ is a hardy, well-structured tree ideal for areas with limited space and sunlight. Known for its resilience, it survived a harsh, snowless winter unscathed. This fast-growing variety develops a dense, round crown as it matures, with consistent orange-red fall color in full sun. The seeds and catkins attract wildlife, and it serves as a host to butterflies like the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail during their larval stage.
