View prices and availability
A frequently used, robust and fast-growing cultivar of S. latifolia with a broad pyramidal and remarkably symmetrical crown. Height up to 10 m. The grey trunk is smooth and the young twigs are reddish-brown with white hairs. The broad ovoid to almost round and sturdy leathery leaves are glossy dark green. On the underside they are felt-like and yellowish-grey. The young emerging leaves also bear white felt-like hairs. They remain smaller than those of the species and remain hanging on the tree for a long time in the autumn. In late May the cream-coloured flowers appear and are followed in late summer by numerous brownish-red to orange-yellow fruits. Reasonably resistant to bacterial fire blight and very wind-resistant. Winter hardiness zone: 5a
