The leaves are 3-8 cm long rounded ovals, green with a waxy glaucous sheen. The autumn colour can be strikingly varied, from peach and yellow to scarlet. The flowers are numerous, produced in large inflorescences 15–30 cm (5.9–12 in) long; each flower 5-10 mm diameter, with five pale yellow petals
* It is commonly grown as an ornamental plant.
* The wood was formerly used to make the yellow dye called young fustic. more...
* An essential oil is obtained from the leaves and flowers. It has a mango-like smell. more...
* Grown for the striking mid- to late-summer clouds of fuzzy growth surrounding the flower panicles on female plants, which do resemble billowing clouds of smoke, color changes as the "smoke" ages but may be pinky-gray, the plant itself is adaptable.
