'Pung kil' is a delicate looking tree that has long slender leaf lobes which emerge as light red. The leaves eventually become a dark purple-red and it remains its color throughout the summer. Fall brings a brilliant red before leaf fall when the purple stems provide winter interest. It is an attractive tree for many garden settings.
