View prices and availability
Small to medium size tree, initially narrow pyramidal, later ovoid. The branching pattern is conspicuously steep, around 45°. This means the crown stays fairly narrow. The dark green leaf turns a deep golden yellow in autumn. The leaf is highly resistant to mildew, red spider mite and gall mite. A good avenue tree for use on green belts, road verges, narrower streets, housing estates and squares. Unlike other Acer campestre cultivars, it grows fairly well enclosed by paved surfaces.
