Thanks! The autumn color was a huge surprise since I didn't choose it based on fall color but for the color of the blossom, supposedly purple, but it was pink (again). Now I have three pink and one that hasn't yet bloomed.

Carolyn - maybe you could try one and overwinter it in your garage.

This is the color I was expecting (on the left) compared to the actual blossom (on the right). What I love most of all is the tree form. Now it's 2.5 years old and around 3.5' tall.
