Wide-spreading, often multi-stemmed deciduous tree or large shrub with attractive flaking bark. The peeling bark reveals silver, green, white and cinnamon colors and provides for nice winter interest. The leaves turn yellow, red and purple in autumn. Small, generally insignificant, crimson flowers appear on bare twigs in March and April.
This is a nice small tree for a well-drained site with adequate moisture, such as a residential yard.
