Acquired from Dawes Arboretum plant sale 2008.
This medium-size, deciduous, slender tree or multi-stemmed shrub grows to about 30' tall and nearly as wide. It is particularly notable for having showy silver striations on blue-green bark, which persists on older branches. It has the reputation of having the most conspicuous bark of all the snake-bark types. The leaves are large, three-lobed, and turn yellow in the fall. A valuable plant worth of a place in the garden. Site in light shade in moist, well-drained, organically rich soil. Use as a specimen where the bark can be enjoyed in winter. Suspected hardy in USDA Zone 5, but untried in central Ohio.
