A compact, spreading to semi-weeping small tree with dark purple leaves in spring, turning green with a purple flush in summer before changing to bronzed-purple and green in the autumn. The contorted branches look visually stunning in the winter and make a great architectural feature becoming green flushed as the season progresses and twisted branches. In late winter it bears purplish-pink catkins
