View prices and availability
Because it lacks a top branch, 'Xanthocarpa' has a broad loose crown that eventually becomes spherical. The tree attains a height of 6 - 10 m and has a smooth light grey trunk. Young twigs are brown and bear many lenticels. The leaves are identical to those of the species and turn yellow to orange-red in the autumn. The orange-yellow fruit is characteristic of this cultivar. The fruit emerges from late July and is not much eaten by birds. Grows best on sandy soil that is not too moist and in a sunny site. Here the tree remains at its healthiest. Winter hardiness zone: 4
