Read detailed description :

A tree for fresh soils with a near cylindric peak and slightly drooping lower branches. Growth is relatively slow. The main root will sucker if fractioned. The oval leaves are 5-15cm long and more or less shiny green, with the underside a lighter bluish colour. Lovely autumn colours with different shades of orange, red and yellow.
