Unlike other varieties, this outstanding cultivar features a narrow, pyramidal silhouette clad in glossy, dark green, triangular leaves that flutter gracefully in the slightest summer breeze. When autumn arrives, the canopy transforms into a clean, uniform blanket of bright, golden yellow. As winter sets in, the tree reveals its crowning glory: striking, smooth white bark accented by dramatic black triangular markings that do not peel or look messy over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\" style=\"font-family: Google Sans Text, sans-serif !important;
