Strongly resembles the species but has larger and more deeply incised leaves. At a height of 15 - 20 m this cultivar remains somewhat smaller. The crown is narrowly pyramidal with an ascending, vertical trunk. At a later stage the branches spread out somewhat so that the crown becomes broad pyramidal. Older branches have thick grey corky wings. The 5- to 7-lobed leaves take on spectacular colours in autumn, wine red with yellow, orange and violet. When the tree is planted on a humid site the leaves turn more violet. The fruit capsules, measuring approx. 2.5 cm, appear following the unremarkable flowering. They remain hanging on the tree until deep into the winter. Winter hardiness zone: 5b
