• Does well in sands and deep soils
• withstands drought well
• is wind firm
• new leaves show good lime, green colour in spring
• leaf shape is like that of a maple, but alternately attached to corky shoots
• tolerates smog
• good to excellent autumn colour
• a choice feature for ornamental values if you have space
