This American selection is an extremely hardy, male form with an oval to broad ovoid crown. The tree has many branches, producing a compact crown up to about 9 m wide. The leaf appears late in spring and stays rather smaller than typical of the species. In autumn it turns a spectacular, deep wine red to orange-red with copper and golden yellow hues, often persisting until the first night frost. Is well anchored by its deep, branching tap root. Prefers moist soils and has a slight preference for acidic soils. Valuable, versatile tree.
