View prices and availability
Young specimens have a straight trunk with regular dense branching. Later the crown grows pyramidal. Height approx. 20 - 25 m. The tree has grey bark that is rough at the foot. The dark green leaves are triangular to ovoid and have a grey underside. Approx. 5 - 12 cm long and 4 - 9 cm wide. The leaf edge is lobed or roughly serrated. In the autumn the leaves turn yellowish-green. Bears flowers in the form of male catkins. Little sensitive to rust but very sensitive to canker. Can be used for landscapes and row planting. Also does justice as a solitary in public gardens and parks. 'De Moffart' prefers moist nutritious soils but also grows in drier less nutritious soil. Stands up well to strong winds.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2025.
