A must for anyone excited about the ornamental attributes of exfoliating bark: Layers of copper "paper" curl away from the trunk creating one of the most interesting and entertaini ng trunks you'll ever see. Branching is muscular and stout, making a stiff form with an eventually round-headed crown. The leaves are lobed and trifoliate, and the fall color a brilliant glowing orange and red—nothing dull here. This is one provocative small tree! These trees have fast vertical growth. In order to continue shipping these plants, we trim the top. When new growth emerges, choose a new leader. Mature size: 15–20 ft tall x 10–15 ft wide. Minimum temperature: -20° F Featured on Great Plant Picks: https://www.greatplantpicks.org/plantlists/view/35 Show more
