A deciduous, broadly conical tree to 20m tall. Large maple-like, deeply 5-lobed rich green leaves, purple-tinged when young, turn shades of purple and violet throughout autumn. Insignificant flowers in late spring are followed by spiky fruit capsules in autumn, which remain on the tree into winter. Older branches take on a corky, winged appearance
