Marge, you said it all! H. quercifolia is a great shrub. The bark is
beautiful. The fall foliage is incredible. The fls turn a shade of pink or
rose that just blows me away. Etc etc!
Re suckering, I had that problem ONE YEAR and since then it's never
happened again. I think I gave the offspring away, so I still have just
the one specimen plant and it is a beauty.
I am in a warm part of zone 5, or else a very cold part of zone 6 and my
shrub has always had fls., and we've had some very cold winters here. I
think they are hardier than the books say. Definitely would try them in at
least the warmer parts of zone 4.
