This Dutch selection has a broad crown with a straight to somewhat tortuous trunk. When young the tree is still fairly narrow and grows loosely. Young bark is light coloured. The dark green leaves are diamond-shaped to triangular and often have a red leaf stalk. In the autumn the leaves turn yellowish-green. The tree bears male catkins as flowers. 'Spijk' is little sensitive to leaf spot disease but is certainly sensitive to rust and canker. The tree is reasonably wind-resistant. Can be used in landscape and urban settings. In coastal regions it is used as a forestry tree. It prefers fertile moist soil. Winter hardiness zone: 4
