MATSUMURE, red. Famous for its rich, gold autumn leaf color with crimson highlights. 'Kinran' shows bright green mid veins against shiny red-purple leaves in spring. Deeply cut leaf shape gives a lacy appearance. A broad growing tree with a spreading habit, it adapts well to container or bonsai use. It achieves new glory in the fall with a deep bronze at tip ends fading to a shining golden yellow--a very intriguing selection!
