We have 3 in front of the house that were there when we moved in. They are not terribly impressive. Ours never really show any fall color. It may be they just don't hold their leaves long enough, since they seem to be bare pretty quickly in the fall. Possibly the combination of weather (zone 5) and packed clay full of rocks.

I planted a 1 gallon nursery specimen on a slope which was formerly a rustic gravel drive, compact clay with rocks mixed in. Some top soil and composted manure had been dumped there and lightly dug in. It is a steep slope which faces northeast, but it gets about 6 hours of sun in the middle of summer. Without any care whatsoever, the plant has doubled in size in 3 months and looks beautiful.
