‘Autumn Brilliance’ has an upright, highly branching form that grows from between 15-25 feet high. This particular cultivar tends to sucker less than others, tolerates drought and is adapted to a variety of soil types. While it is named for its remarkable fall color, Autumn Brilliance is just as spectacular in the spring with its show of large white flowers. These flowers are followed by small edible fruit that can be made into preserves and pies or left on the tree for the birds to devour. Leaves will emerge tinged purple, mature to dark green from late spring through the summer, and then go out in style come autumn.
