Excellent selected form with three or five lobed leaves, at first bronzy green, turning rich black-red as Winter cold approaches, retaining this colour until early Summer. Hardy, easily grown, attractive garden or container plant. Grows 2 x 1m.
A small tree well suited to growing on a boundary for shelter and privacy. It can also be grown in a large container. The dark, red-black foliage is at its most colourful in winter, providing interest when colour tends to be sparse in gardens. It is excellent for small gardens because it is very easy to keep pruned to a desired height. Combine it with dark green foliage plants for a luxuriant look.
