A fast growing, medium-sized tree, reaching a maximum height of 7 m. This cultivar differs little from the other cultivars of the A. negundo with variegated leaves. The leaves are green with silver-white to light-pink margins. Young unfurling leaves have a nice light-pink colour. 'Flamingo' can be applied in parks and gardens. The tree grows both on wet and dry sites. It has a deep rooting main root which branches out strongly. Regular pruning will stimulate the growth of finely coloured young sprouts.
