Fast-growing deciduous tree to 40-50’ tall x 25-30’ wide or larger with age. This popular Ash blight-resistant variety is upright-growing in youth eventually forming a rounded-head of lacy deep-green foliage turning vibrant shades of burgundy-red in the fall. Tough and smog tolerant this attractive variety produces inconspicuous white flowers in spring but does not produce seeds. Requires little water once established and is ideally-suited as a shade or street tree. Thrives in a full sun exposure.
