Dense, bushy deciduous shrub with dark green leaves from spring to end summer that turn in autumn (vivid shades of scarlet and crimson).
The bark is also attractive with distinctive corky wings. Best planted in an area where the sun catches the spectacular autumn foliage, it makes an excellent specimen plant for a well-drained shrub border or woodland edge.
