The 'Chantilly Lace' cultivar presents a compact and elegant habit with finely cut, lace-like green foliage that transitions to a stunning bright yellow and orange hue in the fall. It thrives in USDA hardiness zones 5 through 8 and prefers temperatures between 60-80°F for optimal growth. This deciduous tree can reach a mature height of 8 to 10 feet, making it suitable for smaller gardens or as an understory plant. It features an upright shape that provides structural interest in the landscape. While it is moderately deer resistant, it is best planted in well-drained, slightly acidic soil where it can develop its graceful canopy. 'Chantilly Lace' is a low-maintenance choice that adds year-round beauty to any garden setting.
