Cappadocian tree is distinguished by its medium to large stature, shedding leaves annually. Mature individuals can develop a substantial trunk diameter and exhibit a sizeable leaf spread. The leaves are characterized by their lobed margins with acute tips, turning a rich golden yellow in fall. In spring, it produces inconspicuous flowers followed by winged seed pods known as samaras. The bark is typically smooth on younger specimens, becoming furrowed with age.
