View prices and availability
A medium sized tree, found in the mid-19th century in Sweden, with a height of approx. 15 m. The crown is narrow columnar. The leaves are round to ovoid and have a roughly serrated edge. The matt green leaves are 3 - 8 cm in size and have a bluish-green underside. The young leaves are a pretty bronze colour. The autumn colour is yellow to orange. Because of the long leaf stems the tree moves even in a light wind. Produces male catkins and thus no fruit. Little sensitive to sea wind or de-icing salt. Winter hardiness zone: 2
