Comments:
A large deciduous shade tree with very pretty deeply dissected leaves. Fast growing, it can eventually reach 50-70' tall and nearly as wide. Fall color is usually yellowish green. A very adaptable tree best used where there is a lot of space to grow. Avoid planting near walks or drives due to surface rooting. A great tree for poor soil sites where little else will grow.
