View prices and availability
Is a cultivar usually grown on a trunk of L. styraciflua. After many years a rounded to umbellate crown develops that is remarkable for its strong branching. Even branches a year old show a clear tendency to produce branches. This produces a compact crown. Height 6 - 8 (10) m, width up to 6 m. 'Parasol' has corky wings that are more evident than in other cultivars. The corky wings start to develop in twigs as young as one year old. Winter hardiness zone: 5b
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.
