  • Type of products available: X/1/0 Maiden tree

Main asset

Tree without thorns, large thin leaves twice pinnated, light green resembling Fern leaves, becoming bright yellow in autumn. Very good shade tree.

Remarks

Solid tree, resistant to drought, to place in sunny location. Growing rather slowly, it ramifies strongly and creates with its large leaves an important shadow.

Small columnar deciduous tree widening with age, deep rooting. Its large leaves are light green, thin and light, and its habit is elongated. The flowering is discreet, followed by large spiral pendent pods, persisting on the tree in autumn-winter.
