Leaves on juvenile or shade-grown shoots sometimes have three or more lobes near the apex. [17] The perfect hermaphrodite flowers appear before the leaves in early spring, produced in clusters of 10–20; they are 4 mm across on 10 mm long stems, and being wind-pollinated, are apetalous .

In gardening terms, there are various types of shade: Full sun – more than five hours of direct sun per day. Part shade – two to five hours of direct sun, or all-day dappled sun (sunlight shining through open trees). Full shade – less than two hours of direct sun per day.
