Brings reddish autumn colors to the garden. Flowers are cream to pale yellow in spring and summer and attracts an array of insects. Fruit are small, 4-winged and a greenish brown color, ripening to yellowish brown and drying to a honey-brown. They remain on the tree for a long time and are reputed to be poisonous, causing hiccups.
The bark is a pale brown, smooth, but flaking with age to expose gray patches, which give it a mottled appearance. Knob-like outgrowths commonly occur in older trees, giving them an old, gnarled look. The young leaves are yellowish and shiny maturing to a fresh mid-green. Trees are often multi-stemmed and somewhat willow-like in habit. Ideal for larger gardens.
