Grows to a wide spreading shrub about 6 feet. Red pygmy Semi-dwarf tree with unusual leaf. The overall effect is delicate and lace-like. Red color holds until early July. New leaves have pink cast on pale green.
Mature leaf is light green.
Dwarf with compact habit. On new leaves there is an overshading of pink on the golden yellow margins. This fades, leaving a leaf edged in golds. The foliage will burn in direct sun. Although this tree grows fairly rapidly for the first few years, it slows with age and becomes an upright, densely branched tree 7-10 feet in height.
