Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Collected some time ago from the highlands of Taiwan by plantsman Philip McDougal, this small, 15' tree has been quite striking in our garden with its flattened top and deeply dissected leaves that begin turning saturated tones of orange and red in late December, usually holding through winter. Our plant has not yet flowered or fruited for us so stay tuned for more information. Full sun for best color and occasional summer water where dry. From our experience, frost hardy in USDA zone 8a.
