Aceraceae (maple family)

USDA Zone 5

Deciduous tree
Comments:
A rounded, shrubby deciduous tree ultimately reaching 18-20' in height and width, but doing so slowly. A wonderful addition to the garden with burnished orange, shallowly lobed foliage in spring. It can take full sun without scorching. It actually colors best in full sun. Fall color orange and red. Makes a nice specimen or accent plant.
