Description

This deciduous tree grows to 30' tall and 30' wide. Leaves have 10-16 red leaflets that mature to a green color, only to change again to red, orange, and yellow in the fall. It is drought and cold tolerant but needs good drainage. This tree makes a great shade tree but may cause weak allergenic reactions for some people. Flowers are insignificant.

Water Saving Tip:

Even during our hottest months we don't need to water daily.

Give your plants a chance to breathe.

Water late at night or in the early morning hours to avoid losses to wind and evaporation.
