Plant Type: Deciduous Tree

Plant Description: Small, rounded deciduous tree with multi-stemmed trunks most commonly. Leaves composed of multiple leaflets emerge in spring in an olive green color, turn a more solid green in summer and fall early in autumn before changing color. Reddish-bronze bark exfoliates on older specimens. Spikes of dull white flowers turn to flat seed pods. Tolerant of acidic and slightly alkaline soils.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Tree - Deciduous
Plant Care: Tree - Deciduous (single-stemmed woody plants that lose their leaves every winter): Prune regularly to promote health, provide air circulation, maintain a desirable shape, and to remove dead or damaged branches. Pruning is best done in late winter to early spring for most trees. With spring blooming trees, prune after the blooms are spent. Choose species that are resistant to pest damage. Monitor the tree for pests, diseases or other ailments on a regular basis. Protect the trunk especially where maintenance activities, such as mowing, may cause damage. Newly planted trees in areas with high exposure should have the trunk protected during the winter.
