Spectacular fast growing ornamental tree. A small 1 foot tall specimen planted in a private San Francisco Bay Area garden in May of 2006 is now (August 2008) over 12 feet tall! Much more upright and treelike and (in my humble opinion) much more desirable than its suckering American cousin. Large dark green leaves measuring up to 10 inches long turn a superb soft rosy apricot color in the Fall before dropping
There's a mature specimen in the UC Berkeley Botanical Garden. It's approximately 40 feet tall as of this writing.
