Named for the late JC Raulston, this tree is a fast grower, 25 feet in 7 years. Similar in many ways to our native, the more deeply incised foliage provides a finer texture on landscape plants with the same golden yellow fall color. The cultivar was selected for its larger leaves, fuller canopy and more gracefully divided foliage. Greenish-yellow flowers that age to orange.
