Unusual small tree or large bush with stunning autumn coloration. This plant is ideal for small gardens, but can be grown in pot on a patio but also ideal as a bonsai or can be trained to a wall; they usually reach no more than 3-4m in ten years. This is a short-trunked tree, with a bark resembling that of a London Plane. The older, darker bark exfoliates to reveal attractive pink, cinnamon, and yellow patches. Specimens are often maintained as large bushes, or as small trees of height 2-5 m in the garden. The beauty of its rich autumn leaf colour (can be yellow as well as orange-purple) and attractive bark is simply unrivalled. Its autumn coloration is one of the latest, it starts in late October and lasts well for a month, often till the first snow as seen on 5th picture. Its small, reddish (practically only stamens), which hazel-like but shorter flowers appear on bare stems, before spring growth. New growth is reddish purple, mature leaves are large, simple and with serrated margins. Fully hardy.
