Gonna buy one of these purple ones next year if I can find one for a decent price. Love these trees and love the leaves on this one.

Tolleson, AZ(Zone 9a)

Anyone know where this can be bought ?

I found a person selling it earlier this year but I have forgotten who it was. You might want to look for it on ebay. I think that is where I found it.

They are extremely beautiful trees and the foliage holds its gorgeous rich color throughout the summer. I have seen people post on gardenweb that they have found some available at Home Depot or Lowes in 5 gal pots, but that was on the west coast. It's only been on the market for several years and difficult to locate, but you should see more in your local garden centers within the next few years.
