So,

I'm looking through files of images from the past summer for Cercidiphyllum japonicum 'Rotfuchs', thinking I'd seen one at the NCSU Mountain Horticultural Crops Research and Extension Center in Asheville, NC and I see that what I really saw was a Carpinus coreana 'Black Lady.' Very cool foliage, habit so-so but the plant had been struggling a bit. Any of the Carpinophiles gotten their paws on this yet? Any real-time observations on color throughout the summer? Think I could get it to grow in Central IL?


Thanks in advance,
Ernie
