Description: Descriptions of features and a photograph of a leaf.
This species is rarely seen in London or in Britain, and is only occasionally planted. Though it is winter hardy it is seriously affected by anthracnose, made worse by cold weather and frost damage in spring. Specimens tend to survive for a few years and die without making a tree. It has been regularly planted in Britain since the 16th century, generally without much success. There are accounts of it being grown in Britain as coppice specimens during the 19th century.
