Description
Abundant white flowers make their appearance in May, but the real glory of this introduction is the handsome foliage. Leaves have conspicuous serrations and deeply impressed veins, and they often show a reddish blush in summer. The fall color is stunning: Initially copper with overtones of gold and red, it later changes to maroon. This chance seedling from the Seacrest Arboretum in Ohio appears to be a vigorous grower, reaching perhaps 6-8 feet.
