A species of eastern Asia, widely cultivated for its distinctive winged branches and brilliant autumn foliage. It spreads occasionally to forests, thickets, and untended yards, sometimes forming dense stands. First collected in 1980 in Berrien Co.
This species is very distinctive at all seasons if bearing the corky-winged twigs. However, plants spreading into natural areas sometimes lack the corky wings of cultivated strains.
