Introduced from Japan in 1879 this tree offers many exciting characteristics. The crown is spreading and graceful with distinctly veined, ovate leaves. These unfold in an attractive burgandy before turning darker green. The bark is also noteworthy. However, the best attraction are the stunning, green and pale brown, hop-like catkins. Slow to moderate growth habit. Hardy.
