Acer platanoides 'Drummondii' – Acer platanoides 'Drummondii'

View prices and availability
A tree with a wide pyramidal crown. A rather slow grower, that, with a height of 8 to 10 m, stays smaller than the species. The green leaves have strikingly cream-white margins. The occasional branches with wholly green leaves should be removed promptly. Flowers and fruit are typical of the species. 'Drummondii' needs a sunny site and is suitable for use as a park tree. Requires a good top soil to grow and, moreover, is tolerant to peat. Good wind tolerance.
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.
