Distribution:
Species native from e. United States to Central America

Deciduous tree

An excellent deciduous tree for a lawn where its roots can spread. The picturesque habit and superb fall color distinguish it from other trees. A more uniform grower than the typical species, growing 40-60' high and nearly as wide with a nice orange-red fall color.
