Imposing tree with a thick, undulating crown. Crown shapes can vary with seedlings. Mature trees can reach a height of 40 m and can become 500 years of age. It has green leaf buds which is strikingly different from A. platanoides which has red leaf buds. The decorative grey trunk flakes off in small pieces. The leaf stalk does not contain milky sap, an important difference with A. platanoides. The leaf is green on top, the underside is grey pilose. Autumn colour is golden yellow, but not as beautiful as A. platanoides. The wings of the nutlets are in a right to acute angle in relation to each other. Those of A. platanoides are in a wide angle. Deep rooting. Tolerant to wet and cold soils, can not stand in water for a long time. Suitable for industrial estates and coastal areas. Slightly sensitive to salt for icy roads.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
Acer pseudoplatanus can eventually reach a height of 25 - 30 (40) m, fast growing, depending on the site and climate conditions.

The right time to plant Acer pseudoplatanus is during the dormancy period. In Western Europe, Acer pseudoplatanus with root balls can generally be planted from mid-November to late April, although this depends strongly on the climatic conditions and the species of tree.
