Description

Its compact size, the canopy is wispy and delicate. Branches tend to grow in horizontal layers, and often are contorted and twisted, and some specimens have more than one main trunk. The palmate leaves are 2-5 in long and wide, and deeply dissected with 5 to 11 lobes. The lobes are lance shaped, sharply pointed at the tips and doubly toothed on the edges. Almost the entire leaf will be cream with undertones of red and dark green veins, leaves turn green by May but the veins will be slightly darker.
