In 1997, plantsman extraordinaire Roger Warner gifted us this beauty, thought originally to be a dwarf after sitting in a gallon container for over a decade.

To 15-20' with 6'+ sharply-lobed leaves, slowly forming colonies, unless you don't want it do do so, in which case it can do so quite quickly. Actually, not as fast-spreading as the typical form, but will spread with root disturbance. The leaves are semi-deciduous, usually mid-December, with the stems having hardiness of up to 10 degrees more frost than the typical form.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSun or shade.
