Moderately fast grower with a height of 12 - 20 m and approx. width of 6 - 7 m. Later the crown becomes somewhat broader. The perfectly straight manner of growth of the trunk is remarkable. The grey bark is smooth at first and later develops shallow grooves. Young twigs are olive green, often reddish brown on the top and side facing the sun. The leaves are remarkably large, taper to an abrupt point at the top, and are lighter green than those of the species. The base of the leaf is a slanted heart shape and the edge is roughly serrated. Starting in July, aromatic, pale yellow flowers appear. Individual flowers have an approx. diameter of 1.2 cm. Key differences with the species are that 'Redmond' tolerates paving and is not very prone to aphids. The more narrow manner of growth makes the tree suitable for streets.
