Read detailed description :

Small, compact and erect tree, with luminous autumn colours and a decorative bark. Leaves yellow tinted in spring and autumn, often edged in red. The smooth bark, similar to Plane trees, forms decorative strips in age. Bears red, pompom-like flowers in February-March. Easy to grow, rustic, hardy and resistant to pollution. Prefers a well drained soil, not too dry or chalky.
