Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree has a compact growth habit; at a young age, the crown is narrow-oval and upright, later becoming broadly oval or pyramidal. After 10 years, it reaches a height of about 6 meters, and in maturity, it grows to 8–10 meters with a width of 5–6 meters. The bark is dark gray and smooth.

The leaves are ovate with a doubly serrated margin. In spring, they have a bronze tint, in summer they become bright green, and in autumn, they acquire an intense orange-red color, remaining on the branches for a long time. The variety is winter hardy, tolerates pruning well, is wind resistant, and is suitable for various soil types, preferring moist and well-drained ones.

The plant is used as a specimen tree in parks and gardens, for creating hedges, as well as for landscaping urban streets and avenues.
