Trees
A large, deciduous tree, endangered in the wild, and native to cloud forests of Guatamala and Mexico where it reaches a height of 20m, much smaller in British gardens, with leathery dark green leaves that turn red late in autumn and persist until pinkish-red new leaves emerge in spring. Greenish-yellow spring flowers are produced in upright clusters, followed by reddish-brown winged fruits in autumn
