Description

Fast growing tree reaching 30-40' in height and 25' in width, developing a more densely branched habit than the type. Selected primarily for the quality of its foliage which is smaller and thicker than that of the type, lustrous dark green, turning butter yellow in fall. Bark is creamy white and exfoliating. Discovered as a seedling by Dwayne Moon of Moon's Tree Farm, Loganville, GA.
