Height: 20-30' Spread: 20-25' Habit/Form: Upright oval or rounded, typically available as multi-stemmed tree Growth Rate: Slow Zone: 5 to 7
Cultural Requirements: Full sun to part shade in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil.
Ornamental Characteristics: Winter and spring are highlighted with cinnamon colored, exfoliating bark; a light snow accentuates this characteristic. Summer brings delicate, trifoliate leaves with a bluish cast. Fall leaf color is a matte-red.
Uses in the Landscape: An excellent small ornamental tree for a small area or to add structure to a mixed perennial garden. Probably best suited as an addition to an established garden where filtered sun and wind protection already exist.
