One of our most beautiful native trees. Pyramidal in shape when you with densely set branches. Excellent specimen tree, acceptable street tree in residential areas, outstanding summer and fall foliage and habit, lovely in a naturalized area. Certainly one of the best and most consistent native trees for fall color.
