'Georgia da Torino' is a strong-growing tree up to 10 m high, with a slightly irregular, almost round crown. The bark is grey and grooved. The young twigs are not sticky or hairy and possess virtually no thorns, unlike, for example, Casque Rouge. The pinnate leaves are a fresh bright green, turning yellow before falling off in autumn. The flowers appear profusely in loose clusters in May-June. They are deep pink to light pinkish red, sweetly scented and attract many bees.
'Georgia da Torino' is a real warm-temperate plant that grows and flowers best if planted in a warm and sunny place. The branches are quite fragile, making the tree wind sensitive and making it unsuitable for use in outdoor areas or on the coast.
'Georgia da Torino' was named after Giorgina Ceruti, wife of Maurizio Ceruti, from Turin (Torino), Italy, who found and named the tree. The tree was selected in 2012 and introduced in 2016. Hardiness zone 5.
