This small deciduous tree or large shrub features a graceful, upright habit that matures into a rounded form. It thrives in USDA zones 5–8, with recommended growing temperatures between 60–85°F. Preferring well-drained, slightly acidic soil, it is ideal for partially shaded locations but can handle full sun in cooler climates. Stunning orange-red fall foliage truly sets it apart, transforming gardens with its vibrant display. In spring and summer, its deeply lobed green leaves lend a delicate texture. It typically reaches a height of 8–12 feet with a 6–8 foot spread. While it has no significant fruiting, its compact size and deer-resistant qualities make it a perfect choice for smaller gardens or ornamental containers. This elegantly shaped tree is a standout specimen or group planting.
