Dark green leaves turn yellow in fall. After leaves drop, the elegant white or gray stripes on blue-green bark can be appreciated.

White striations make this light, gray-green bark sing, and the lemon-yellow autumn leaves with red petioles lighten and brighten your way toward winter! Its form is rounded and fairly open —perfect for creating lovely dappled shade. Deciduous tree to 25' tall.
