General description
- Origin
- Native to Oregon, G. x issaquahensis originated from a hybrid of G. elliptica and G. fremontii (North American) in the 1960s, which was widely distributed and led to the 'Pat Ballard' selection. 'Glasnevin Wine' is a later hybrid bred in Glasnevin, Ireland, exhibiting wine-colored coloration on new growth and a wine-reddening on catkins, especially males.
- Climate
- Légèrement plus résistant au froid que G. elliptique 'James Roof'.
- Exposure
- Sunny to partial shade. An open exposure is preferable.
- Soil

- Growth
