Small tree with a rounded crown. The branches grow outwards, later becoming somewhat pendulous. The twigs and bark are hairless and dark brown. The green leaves emerge bronze coloured and have red-tinted stems. The flowers, approx. 4 cm in size, grow in bundles of 4 to 8 together and are single. In the bud the flowers are pink but they turn white when open. 'Red Sentinel' produces numerous, spherical, bright red fruits with a diameter of approx. 2.8 cm: they remain on the tree for a long time. Can be used in parks, public gardens and gardens. Can be used as a street tree only in stretches of greenery. Stands up well to understorey. Allowing a solitary planted shrub to grow into a multi-trunked tree can produce an attractive effect. 'Red Sentinel' requires a nutritious, not too dry soil and is somewhat sensitive to scab.
