Read detailed description :

The light green leaves become a much darker green in summer, then after quite a long period will eventually turn a bright orangey-yellow colour in autumn. The green bark with grey rings is very decorative. Superb oriental silhouette. Can be formed into a compact bush or a small erect tree, its apex becoming rounder over the years. Can also be formed into a Bonsaï. Easy maintaining, adaptable to small spaces. Tolerates the sun and cool soils.
