‘Acoma’ was introduced by the U.S. National Arboretum and reaches a height of 10-14 feet, similar in size to ‘Tonto’. Weeping/cascading type of growth habit. White flowers appear in mid to late-June and last around 90 days. Powdery mildew resistance is good. Some years, leaf spot is observed on this cultivar – defoliation is not a problem. Light gray bark exfoliates as plant nears maturity. Good cold hardiness. |
