Each leaf has several lobes (typically 5–7) that all originate from one point looking like an open hand with outstretched fingers. Specific epithet is in reference to the palmate nature of the leaves. Genus name is the Latin name for a maple tree. Cultivars (often grafted) are quite variable. Fall color includes shades of yellow, red-purple and bronze.
Flowers are followed by samaras (to 3/4" long) in pairs. The flowers are rather attractive close up, but are not particularly showy from a distance. Small reddish-purple flowers in umbels bloom in mid spring (April). Each palmate green leaf (2-5" long) has 5 or 7 but less frequently 9 pointed toothed lobes. General plant form is rounded to broad-rounded, often with low branching.
