I've only seen this species one time and that was by surprise at Morris Arboretum in northwest Philadelphia, PA, as it was tagged there. The leaves are sharp pointed, dark green, and 2 to 4.5 inches long by 3/4 to 1.75 inches wide, doubly toothed on the margins, with 20 to 24 pairs of veins deeply impressed. This species is noted as usually not having good fall colour. The bark begins as smooth and then matures to become shallowly furrowed and scaly.
