Nursery contributed plant descriptions

MATSUMURAE, red. A strong growing red form that develops a spreading, graceful structure. The leaves divided into 7-9 deep lobes emerge orange-red to purplish-red in the spring. The amount of red is affected by the amount of shade the tree receives. In deep shade leaves will have green overtones. A vigorous grower when young, it might need trimming to keep it checked if a tighter structure is desired as it matures.
