    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    One of the most beautiful of all small trees; this very unusual 20-30 foot maple from Central China has true four-season interest. Remarkable tri-foliate leaves emerge a beautiful copper color in spring before turning a soft green for summer, its spectacular scarlet fall color is unmatched and in winter this tree really shines with its cinnamon red-brown bark which peels in fine strips, especially beautiful with snow or frost on it. A wonderful specimen tree, plant it near a window so that you can admire its splendor. S-PSh/M
