A deciduous ornamental tree known for its upright, rounded form and exceptional fall colour. Its deeply lobed green foliage emerges with subtle reddish tones in spring, matures through summer, and transforms into brilliant, fiery shades of crimson red in fall, creating a dramatic seasonal display. The finely textured leaves and graceful branching add elegance and structure to the landscape.
Valued for its outstanding fall colour, refined form, and ornamental appeal, it grows best in partial shade with protection from hot afternoon sun and prefers moist, well-drained soil. Ideal as a specimen tree, it brings striking colour and sophistication to gardens, patios, and mixed borders.
