PLANT PROFILE

Parrotia persica, or Persian Ironwood, is a stunning deciduous tree prized for its year-round ornamental appeal. Growing 6–10 meters tall with a broad 4–8 meter canopy, it features smooth gray bark that exfoliates to reveal a patchwork of cream, green, and brown — adding unique texture through all seasons.

In late winter to early spring, it produces delicate crimson flowers with bright yellow stamens. Its lush ovate leaves turn spectacular shades of orange, red, and purple in autumn, creating a vivid seasonal display.

With an upright, well-structured habit, Persian Ironwood makes an excellent specimen tree for gardens, parks, or urban settings where its distinctive bark, colorful foliage, and winter blooms can be admired. It thrives best in full sun to part shade, requires minimal pruning, and tolerates moderate drought once established.

How to Plant:

  • Choose a location with well-draining soil and exposure to full sun or partial shade.
  • Dig a hole that is the same depth as the root ball and at least twice as wide.
  • Place the tree in the hole at the correct depth.
  • Backfill with soil, water thoroughly, and add mulch to conserve moisture.

Use this as a reference when digging your planting hole. We recommend digging at least 10% wider than the dimensions below to encourage strong root development.
