An American selection that initially has a narrow manner of growth. The crown ultimately takes on a pyramidal shape, but it grows slowly, particularly when young. Height 15 - 20 m, width approx. 10 m. The fan-shaped leaves and flower buds are on short shoots. The shape of the leaves of 'Saratoga' varies, but is always very deeply incised. The leaves grow in bundles of 3 - 5 and turn golden yellow in the autumn, although less spectacular than other cultivars. 'Saratoga' is a male type that is excellently suited as a street and avenue tree, thanks to its lack of fruit. Requires a site with ample light. Winter hardiness zone: 5a
