An upright, deciduous tree with ascending branches forming a pyramidal to oval crown. Leaves are divided into widely spaced leaflets with margins toothed in the upper halves and turn from green to shades of orange, red and yellow in autumn. Large, hanging clusters of white spring flowers form orange-red, followed by autumn fruits. Grow in moderately fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in sun or light dappled shade.
