Foliage
The shiny, triangular leaves are tri-lobed with three main veins and a broad base. The spring growth is coppery-red, maturing to glossy dark green in summer and then turning to a brilliant greenish-red to yellow and orange in autumn. Very attractive foliage and good autumn colours are particularly appealing as the green toning gradually turns to red.

Bark
Pale grey and coarsely flaky. Exfoliates on larger trunks, attractive range of colours from grey to orangey-brown.
-

Green winged samaras, borne in pairs, ripen to brown in autumn. Can produce viable seeds which may be problematic.

Slender and upright in early years, spreading to a rounded habit as the tree matures.
