In early spring, clusters of red flowers bloom before the leaves emerge. These are followed by reddish winged samaras, along with red buds and twigs that provide ornamental interest through multiple seasons. In fall, the foliage turns a brilliant, showy red—sometimes accented with orange or yellow depending on site conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"894\" data-end=\"1144\"\u003eLeaves are shiny green above and pale beneath, 3–5 lobed and 3–6 inches wide with distinctive V-shaped sinuses.
