    The deeply-dissected fern-like foliage of this broadly upright small tree (to 12't x 7'w) turns a deep red-purple in fall. PSh-Sh/M

    By: Forestfarm

    Upright, sturdy growth habit with emerald green, dissected leaves. Fall foliage color is ruby red. Growth Rate slow

    Chosen by many for its outstanding, brilliant fall colors of crimson, gold, yellow and red, what a compote! Leaves are multilobed, heavily textured and lightly feathered. The short, thick, twigs and branches add character to this landscape specimen.

    Similar to 'Green Cascade' in leaf characteristics and 'Aconitifolium' in growth habit. Notable difference is its outstanding ruby red fall color.
