This medium-sized tree has a rounded and regularly branched closed crown. It can eventually attain a height of 8 - 12 m and has a deeply penetrating taproot with very strongly developed lateral roots. The glossy bark is brownish-red. The ovoid dark green leaves attain a size of 15 cm and turn orange-yellow in the autumn. The leaves have an irregularly serrated edge. The tree produces bundles of white double flowers. These are 2-3 cm in size and emerge in late April to early May. 'Plena' is sterile and therefore produces no fruit. It is mainly used as a park and avenue tree. In order to be able to grow well the tree requires humid, fertile, sandy soil. Preferably calcareous.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
