The 'Fingerprint' is an upright tree which grows to have a compact and ovate crown. The pinnate leaflets are finely toothed at the edges and these turn to delightful shades of orange and yellow in autumn. In spring, pretty white flowers emerge and these later become glossy coral red fruits which are popular with the birds. This is a great tree for planting in groups due to its attractive shape and it is therefore a great architectural tree.
