Same as for C. macrocarpa, including the gorgeous new red leaves. The distinguishing characteristic is the yellowish crownshaft and leaf petioles. The most notable difference in this much sought-after form, is its pale yellow colored crownshaft. It has thus been called the Yellow, or Blonde Flame Thrower. The seeds are easily told apart by their unique pattern of pale fibers.
