This fairly recent Dutch selection is distinguished from the species by the smaller size of the crown. It is usually grafted on a stam causing it to assume the shape of a large sphere. It shows strong growth and its eventual height very much depends on the height of the graft. The broad leaf has 3 - 5 sharply serrated lobes and is slightly hairy on the underside. In the autumn the leaves turn colour to a brownish yellow. Is very resistant to hard surfaces. It also supports pruning well, even in old wood. It is important to use a tree stake for support at the sapling stage. Stands up well to wind. For narrow streets, small gardens and squares. Winter Winter hardiness zone: 6a
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.
