    I just bought this cultivar from Eastfork Nursery via Buchholz.
    I spoke with Buchholz&Buchholz and they know nothing about the
    tree except that it is a new purdchase by them from Europe.
    It is a green cultivar with orangish new leaf growth. The mature
    leaves are 3 inches longwith 7 lobes and cut back 80-85%. The mature
    leaves are much larger than the new or intermediate leaves.
    Does anyone know this cultivar please?
    Thank you.

    Never saw it before. The pictures on Talon's web site show a few leaves with shortened center lobes. Plus, the pictures are of a squat, bushy plant. The leaves defintely aren't dwarf in size, but this leads me to believe it may be a smaller tree.
