Thought to have been bred at the Botanical Gardens of Copenhagen, this tough compact tree is incredibly hardy, thriving as an urban tree all over Scandinavia.

It rarely produces fruit but sometimes produces clusters of creamy white flowers in the spring.The foliage puts this tree into the Whitebeam family and its bushy stubby growth needs very little maintenance over its lifespan.

Thriving in most free draining soils it is happy in full sun or semi shade.

This is a particularly good prospect for urban planting and gardens in the North of England or Scotland, especially where space is restricted. Its bright green summer leaves turn yellow in autumn. At maturity, its dense crown is broadly rounded.

If you live in an area prone to rabbits or deer then we recommend rabbit guards for these trees.
