By: Lael's Moon Garden

A stately and fast growing deciduous tree, thought to be hardier than listed and should be more readily planted in gardens of the northern hemisphere. When young it forms 3' frond-like shoots, covered with tightly set, irregularly toothed, small, green leaves. The tree has a delightfully crinkly appearance! Can grow to 50' at maturity, and will often fill out with an interesting twisted branch structure, very appealing during the leafless months.
