Dirr says: "There are several magnificent trees near the old shrub collection at the Arnold Arboretum (Boston) and these will make believers out of any gardener. My first exposure to this tree occurred at the Royal Botanical Garden, Hamilton, Ontario, and on that tree the bark was a rich cinnamon brown and actually exfoliated in shaggy masses. Other trees I have seen showed minimal exfoliation. The color varies from brownish yellow to reddish brown to the cinnamon brown mentioned above."
