Smoke Tree

This smoke tree "Young Lady" is one of the prettiest bushes I have.

It is labeled a tree "cotinus coggryia," but it is 7 years old and still modest in size.

The leaves are shiny green, but the pretty part is called the inflorescences, the smoke.


Here it is next to Harry Lauterer's walking stick.

My smoke bush can be seen in an earlier post.  Some also label it a smoke tree, but they are very different.
