Comments:
New foliage is reddish-purple before turning green. Bark on mature trees is deeply furrowed and peels in strips. Red flowers have little ornamental value. Foliage is yellow to scarlet in autumn. This species make a clean street tree and an excellent shade tree in the Upper South. Autumn leaves reported to give off a spicy cinnamon fragrance.
