Corrugated blue-green leaves with serrated edges change to red, scarlet, and orange in fall. Horticultural source.
The hard, heavy wood is used for tool handles, mallets, walking sticks, and golf clubs.
A great native tree that grows well in heavy soil and lower light conditions. The catkins and fruits look a little like dangling Japanese pagodas—first green, then becoming yellowish brown in clusters of three-winged nutlets. The smooth greenish gray trunk eventually becomes fluted with age and seems to have muscles. Grows very slowly. Tolerant of most soils. Also known as musclewood.
