A cultivar that is not commonly seen. The main difference with the species is its irregularly white-margined leaf. The habit is the same as the species but slower. The soft bark is smooth and grey and may be damaged when exposed to open sun light. The leaf is slightly smaller than of the species, circa 4 - 8 cm and has a curved margin. In hot and sunny periods it may be scorched. 'Albomarginata' has a yellow-brown autumn colour and an inconspicuous inflorescence. The nuts appear in autumn. This solitary park tree is shallow-rooting so that undergrowth gets little chance. Prefers not too wet, well-drained soil, rich in humus content. Hard surfaces are less tolerated. Winter hardiness zone: 5b
