In cultivation since the early 1800s this top grafted clone forms a rounded and compact crown ideal for urban piazzas and town gardens.
It is more regularly seen in French and German cities than here in the UK.
This small mop-headed tree seldom flowers and requires very little maintenance.
The largest tree of this clone I have heard of is about 6 metres in diameter.
It is best to have them top grafted between 1.8-2 metres from ground level so they can easily be walked under.
It thrives on most soils and is tolerant of urban conditions.
Mature height: 3-7m
