Ideal for smaller gardens, ‘Slender Silhouette’ has a petite and graceful habit, true to its name. It is easy to grow and will reach an eventual height of 18m, but will only spread to around 2m wide. Its foliage is similar to the maple leaf in shape and colour. Green in the summer, it will burst into fiery shades of orange and crimson in the autumn. Unusual spiky fruits are produced that will mature to brown and dangle from the branches. Plant in a sunny location with well-drained, acidic to neutral soil.
