View prices and availability
A. × neglecta is a natural hybrid of A. flava and A. sylvatica. Relatively slow growing tree, eventually medium to large with an almost round crown. The bark is initially grey-brown and smooth, becoming greyer and rough later. The green leaves are hairless except for the veins. The autumn colour is a splendid orange-red, which is why the plant was selected. Flowers light yellow with light red base, sometimes followed by spineless fruit. Although the tree can tolerate paved surfaces, it is primarily for use in large gardens and parks.
