Moderately tall tree with a narrow, loose crown. Height circa 10 m. The spread is 4 - 5 m. The trunk is red-brown in the early years, later dark grey to nearly black. The twigs are red brown and have warty lenticels. The bright purplish leaf turns brown green at the end of summer. In autumn it turns to a radiating red. It is to be recommended to plant the tree in slightly fertile soil. This provides for a healthier growth and the leaf will turn to a more intense red. Hillocks, soil compaction and changing water tables have a negative influence. The tree is shallow-rooting. Poor tolerance to coastal winds. Winter hardiness zone: 2
