Its growth habit is compact with well proportioned branching. Best for fragrance. A seedling of 'Courtade Pink' but may be a natural cross with Celadine as ET had a large and varied collection.

Bright green leaves with pubescent new growth. Compact tree. Multiple, full, vibrant yellow inflos. Bright white along the outer edges of the petals. The leaves are dark green, quite lush and full.
