Comments:
Upright, slow-growing, small deciduous tree relatively rare that reaches 7' in 10 years. A fine focal point in the smaller garden or perfect patio container tree that's also popular used as bonsai. Crinkled bright green, tufted leaves develop fall color much later in the season, showing golden-orange and crimson tones.
