This tall graceful tree has season long interest, with beautiful rich green summer foliage that changes to yellow in autumn, and in some years to pink/red color. The bark exfoliates at a young age, in puzzle-like patterns exposing rich shades of gray, green, brown and orange-brown. A tough, fast growing tree and tolerant of urban situations. Resistant to Dutch Elm disease. Voted 2003 Urban Tree of the Year by the Society of Municipal Arborists. (No Canada, except NB, ON, PQ)
