Comments: A rounded, shrubby deciduous tree ultimately reaching up to 12' tall and nearly as wide but doing so slowly. The small, dark green leaves give an overall circular outline and are held stiffly horizontal. A wonderful addition to the garden with brilliant orange fall color. The winged fruit occur in bunches and turn orange adding to the effect.
