I suppose it is a local variety. I never know whether they have names or not. This one is a fairly common color around here so it is probable. The scent is cinnamony and not very sweet. It completely loses all leaves in the winter, at least for me. I believe I have seen some around the city that have leaves in winter, sparse though. I water them through the winter, not a lot, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I'm convinced that since it is not cold or lack of water, it must be hours of daylight that tell them when to slow down. We only have a couple of hours of difference in daylight between winter and summer (11 hours minimum in winter, 13 maximum in summer) but it must be enough.
A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.
