This acuminata hybrid has been around for over 30 years. It blooms as the leaves are coming on and stand upright on the twigs. Later than Elizabeth, the flowers are less susceptible to frost damage. The tree may get to 40′, maybe not the best for a small garden.

Yellow Lantern is another acuminata cross that provides a strong growing (25′ x15′) hardy tree with fragrant not deep yellow flowers that bloom late enough to avoid the late spring frosts. Those are all good things–except for the ‘not deep yellow part’.

Blooming fairly late in the season, this cultivar avoids frost damage, but the strong yellow buds fade to light yellow and cream pretty quickly, but the flowers are large and fragrant. The tree is vigorous and blooms precociously. zone 5
