This popular ornamental tree is well suited to woodland areas, large gardens or parkland due to its size. This beautiful, large tree is native to eastern North America. It has gracefully drooping, slender branches covered with shiny, lush green leaves that turn rich-scarlet in autumn. The autumn colour can be variable and some trees can turn glowing orange and bronze while others are plum purple and deep red.
