vigorously growing, medium- to large-sized, multi-stemmed tree that is closely related to C. chinensis. The wide, vase-shaped crown is formed by the centre leaderes growing quite steeply. The almost heart-shaped leaves on C. chinensis are significantly bigger. They emerge as a light bronze colour and turn a bright golden colour in the autumn.The leaf is fairly thick and feels leathery. The flowers often appear before the leaves develop and stand in compact clusters. Seeds were collected in 1980.
