Nursery contributed plant descriptions

DWARF, green. The small five-lobed leaves hold themselves nicely from the branches. They come out bright crimson in the spring and hold this color for several weeks before turning a light green for the summer and yellow to orange in the fall. This is one of the first of this group to leaf out in spring. Its wonderful leaf and spring color make it a sought after plant for Bonsai.
