It is a fast grower with very well striped bark and large leaves. There is some die back of new growth and it has a tendency towards chlorosis, but an attractive plant. This is August 18th 2012 in full sun.

Actually I haven't ever seen any samaras on this one, but if I do get some I'll remember you! cheers, -E
