View prices and availability
Medium-size tree with a round crown, up to approx. 15 m. The lower branches droop somewhat as the tree ages, causing them to hang fairly low. The dark green leaf has 5 fingers and should turn a deep orange-brown in autumn. However, this can vary widely depending on the soil type and from year to year. The yellow flowers always have a slightly orange-red bloom on top. They stand in compact panicles and usually open from mid-May to early June. It was originally assumed that ‘Autumn Splendor’ was a subspecies of A. × arnoldiana, which is a hybrid of A. glabra and A. × hybrida. However, because the tree was probably grown from seeds of A. sylvatica, ‘Autumn Splendor’ is now regarded as a hybrid cultivar.
