| 'Tuscarora' was introduced in 1981 and is characterized by coral pink flowers. It is less susceptible to powdery mildew and leaf spot than most cultivars. Flowering begins in late June or early July and will continue for 70-80 days. The trunk has mottled, light brown bark that exfoliates increasingly as the tree ages. This cultivar can easily reach heights of 25 feet in the landscape and has performed well in landscape plantings across Louisiana |
