Slow-growing broad shrub type. Eventually grows into a small tree from 4-5 m tall, with a broad, fan-shaped crown. The crown is about as wide as it is tall. Twigs are light brown and smooth, mature bark is grey-brown and deeply grooved when older. The fan-shaped eaves of the first sprouting curl into a typical tube shape making them look like small cups. This curvature makes the matt green underside of the leaf visible. The leaves of the second sprouting, later in the summer are often dissected. The leaves are distinctly smaller than the species, growing to about half as long. In autumn the leaf turns yellow before falling. This small tree is unmistakeable due to the striking leaf shape and is suitable for (small) gardens.
