I'm not sure. My friend said Smoke Bush, but it is a tree...

Thats lovely. Is it very tall? There is a pale smoke bush called 'Young lady' or 'Wig tree' which looks similar to this

It's a Smoke Bush (Cotinus) alright - great plant/shrub/tree! I cut mine to the ground every Spring and it then grows to 6 or 7 feet high with leaves as big as your hand . . . and when they turn in the Autumn (the Fall), the colours are stunning! If you want flowers, don't prune or only prune out a third of the shoots.
Geoff Hamilton grew one at Barnsdale as a tree and I couldn't believe it when I first saw it. GET ONE TODAY!

Currently not in my budget, but I'll be sure to let you know when its my birthday ;)))

I didnt think it was a tree either, more of a shrub here in UK I think. :~)
But when is a shrub a tree or a tree called a shrub!! answers on a postcard please :~)

That's beautiful Lil....I have 3 different Cotinus in the garden - I'm gonna have to keep up with the pruning, that's for sure!

Noooo, I would want it to get like this. It was stunning! Looked like a cloud tree from a distance.
