Overview

Known for its dense, symmetrical canopy and lush green, fan-shaped leaves that turn brilliant yellow in fall, this non-fruiting cultivar is ideal for small spaces. Hardy to zones 3-8, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and requires well-drained soil. A low-maintenance choice perfect for urban or residential landscapes.
