The leaves, broad and rounded, give a very \u201clush\u201d look and a softer feel than finely dissected weeping forms. Late in the season, the autumn color is often spectacular.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1284\" data-end=\"1296\">Colours<\/h3>\n<ul data-start=\"1298\" data-end=\"1496\">\n<li data-start=\"1298\" data-end=\"1341\">\n<p data-start=\"1300\" data-end=\"1341\"><strong data-start=\"1300\" data-end=\"1313\">Spring<\/strong> : green at budbreak.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1342\" data-end=\"1381\">\n<p data-start=\"1344\" data-end=\"1381\"><strong data-start=\"1344\" data-end=\"1351\">Summer<\/strong> : green (dense foliage).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1382\" data-end=\"1496\">\n<p data-start=\"1384\" data-end=\"1496\"><strong data-start=\"1384\" data-end=\"1395\">Autumn<\/strong> : yellow then orange, with transitions toward red (intensity varies with conditions).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-start=\"1498\" data-end=\"1516\">Habit &amp; vigour<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1518\" data-end=\"1728\">Compact at first, then increasingly weeping (drooping branches).
