Medium-sized tree with a wide conical open crown becoming spherical when maturing. Height up to 18 m, sometimes 25 m. The palmate leaves usually have 5, sometimes 7, loose leaflets. These are 15 cm across. The dark green leaf is only lightly hairy underneath, which is in contrast with the characteristically thick hairiness of A. flava f. vestita. In autumn it colours into yellow violet and the tree sheds its leaves relatively soon. The large fruits and young outgrowth are poisonous.
