This selection of Persian Ironwood is a winner in more ways than one. 'Vanessa' is slightly less columnar in form than 'Golden Bell Tower'. A further stand out feature is the wide range of fall colour that 'Vanessa' displays, from bronze and crimson, through orange and brilliant golden yellow. It was awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit, and was named Urban Tree of the Year by the Society of Urban Arborists in 2014.
