purple smoke tree

I've searched everywhere and I can find out when they flower, but can anyone tell me if they leaf out early or late?

thanks

Mine leafed out very early. In fact got burned by a not so late frost.

That's what I was afraid of. I have one that was put in last year to replace the second of two junipers that died. I think this one is dead as well. funny, well not really...

I agree with Alex.... they tend to be early leafers. I also know that they often will resprout from the base if the top dies back. Prune back to where you find live wood and watch the base for sprouts.
