An upright tree reaching 25' tall. Notable for the vivid red coloring of the young stems that make it a fine beacon in the winter landscape. The coloring is only prominent on the new growth, however, as it fades to gray with age. Possesses multiseason interest (summer foliage, fall foliage color, twig and bark color and quality)
