The leaves are mid-green and glossy with 5-7 lobes, like a maple; in autumn they turn brilliant shades of purple, crimson and orange; They are more deeply lobed than the species and their autumn colour is more intense. Inconspicuous flowers in spring are followed by spiky balls of seed capsules, looking like burrs 1-1 ½” (2.5-3.5cm) across. Magnificent specimen tree. Holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
