Fantastic star-shaped foliage that is more deeply lobed than some other varieties. The glossy green foliage will delight with a display of autumn colour that begins with yellow and orange, developing to vibrant claret red. Corky, fissured bark. These Parasol trees or umbrella shaped trees are fast emerging as a very popular choice to add structure and create natural garden architecture. Clients tend to use them instead of pergolas and arbors to offer cool shade in the summer months. As living structures, they offer year-round interest by constantly changing through the seasons
