The cinnamon-brown bark peels away, creating a very rustic look. Grows to 25 feet. Similar to the above maple in habit and form. Its shedding bark has a shinier, cherry-like appearance. In mid to late-winter, fragrant flowers with long, narrow petals bloom on bare branches.
Flowers are yellow or red.
Does not like heavy clay soil. Perhaps that's why we don't see it often in this area. Prefers moist, well drained humousy soil. In full sun or part shade, it will grow to 10 feet. All rights reserved.
