Medium-size tree with healthy, vigorous growth: has a slender, narrowly pyramidal crown. First year twigs dark brown, older bark white to grey-white. The bark is only slightly peeling: only older trees acquire a grooved trunk base. Forms a nicely vertical main stem with the branches growing from the central leader at an angle of about 45°. The glossy, fresh green leaf turns golden yellow in autumn. Due to the narrowly pyramidal crown, good anchoring and fairly light side branches, the tree is highly suitable for avenues and streets. Also very useful in landscape planting. Was discovered in Switzerland by Sjef van Roessel and introduced after extensive testing.
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.
