The leaves are pale green which turn butter yellow in a good autumn and the peculiar stem growth ensures that this tree is still interesting in winter once the leaves have fallen!

Gradually developing into a small or eventually medium sized tree, this also does very well as a specimen plant in a large container. is also eye-catching if grown in a large container.
