Features

Shiny cinnamon-brown bark that peels extensively.

Culture

Full sun or partial shade; best in moist, well drained soils, but will grow well in clay soils; tolerates a wide range of soil pH.

Notes

Autumn color is variable (russet, often dull), but this tree is outstanding in winter due to its beautiful bark and regular form.
