Although young trees have a narrow fastigiate form, this cultivar acquires an oval-vase shape with age, typically maturing to 40 feet tall and 30 feet wide. Ovate, toothed, bright medium green leaves are clean and attractive throughout the growing season with little susceptibility to foliar diseases. Foliage turns yellow in fall. Trunks have smooth gray bark and distinctive muscle-like fluting. Small nutlets in 3-lobed bracts appear in summer in drooping 5-inch long clusters. This is a superbly shaped landscape tree that also may be hard pruned as a hedge. Height: 30 to 40 feet and spread: 20 to 30 feet |
