Striking medium-size tree that, with its height of 8 - 10 m, is distinctly smaller than the species. The relatively densely branching crown is broad ovoid to round. The one and two-year-old twigs are strikingly orange-red. This is mainly very noticeable in winter. The mature bark is typical of the species: dark brown and grooved. The leaf is more or less round with a heart-shaped base and short pointed tip. It is matt dark green in summer, turning buttery yellow in autumn before it falls. Around late June the very fragrant, creamy white flowers appear in short corymbs. They are followed by lightly felt-like hair, round to ovoid fruits. Found as a seedling in 1977 among a wild wood population and introduced 11 years later. The most striking ornamental value is formed by the colourful twigs.
