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.
