Description
The foliage of this variety is a lighter green color, which turns shades of yellow, peach, pink, orange and red in the fall. It has a narrow, columnar growth habit, reaching 40'-60' tall and 15'-25' wide. It prefers full sun and medium amount of watering. It drops spiky seed pods in the fall so it's best to plant away from walkways.

Water Saving Tip:
Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
