Cotinus obovatus | Also known as: Chittamwood, American smoketree | Rating: votes| Print / Pdf
It’s often said that where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Well this is true with cotinus obovatus or American smokewood, a large shrub or small tree that produces fiery foliage in blazing shades of orange, red and purple during autumn. The common name stems from the pinkish-purple hairs that are visible in summer and which resemble puffy smoke. American smokewood will grow in most soils as long as they are moist and well-drained. It should be grown in partial shade or full sunlight and its gorgeous colours are guaranteed to heat up any garden design, whether it is setting borders alight or serving as a feature plant in an open space where it can display itself in all its bright glory.
