Small to medium-size tree with a rounded crown, which will eventually grow to about 10 m high and wide. The dark green leaf is 5-fingered and turns yellow to orange in autumn. The light yellow to reddish flowers usually open from mid-May to early June. The tree produces hardly any fruit, which means less of a nuisance. Originated from a cross between A. glabra and A. flava. According to American studies, the tree has adequately vigorous growth, sufficient decorative value in summer, an attractive winter silhouette, and a nice tight crown. It is also very hardy.
