Acer platanoides 'Emerald Queen' – Acer platanoides 'Emerald Queen'

View prices and availability
A medium-sized tree reaching a height of up to 18 m. As a juvenile tree it has a narrow crown with vertically growing branches. When maturing the branches spread and the crown becomes oval. Eventually the spread can be 8 to 10 m. The, slightly leathery, leaf has a light-pink colour when it unfurls, but later turns shiny green. In autumn the whole tree turns light yellow. The green-yellow flowers appear on bare stems. 'Emerald Queen' is a strong cultivar and very useful as a city tree. This healthy cultivar is applied often because of its good crown shape. It demands little from the soil, but does not tolerate stagnating groundwater. The tree has a good wind resistance.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
