Aside from the striking bark, the leaves are also of good interest as they are large leaves that emerge mid-green and turn to lively shades of orange and pink in autumn. Come spring, pretty yellow flowers appear and these are soon followed by clusters of winged seeds. This is a fantastic tree for adding colour to your garden and it will make an ideal screening or specimen tree.
