View prices and availability
A Hungarian cultivar with a strongly ascending manner of growth and a narrow ovoid crown that becomes broader later. Height 20 - 25 m, width up to approx. 15 m. The smooth trunk is dark grey: young twigs are greenish grey and felt-like. The leaves are more or less round, and the top is darker green than those of the species, while the underside is more intensely white and felt-like. In the autumn they turn light yellow and stay on the tree for a long time. In July, strongly aromatic flowers appear. 'Szeleste' is used often as an avenue and street tree thanks to its uniform, relatively narrow manner of growth. Fairly unsusceptible to aphids. Winter hardiness zone: 6a
