Full Description
As with all forms of the species Acer Pseudoplatanus the greenish-yellow flowers which appear in April – May have little ornamental value – but they produce large quantities of pollen and nectar and are very popular with bees.
Very easy to grow in a wide range of well-drained soils. They thrive in sun but with partial shade to protect the leaves from scorch. A sheltered area away from strong winds is preferred.
Minimal pruning required. Prune wayward or crossing branches to maintain a healthy framework. When dormant in the late winter/early spring. Some in the summer/autumn to prevent bleeding of sap.
Mop Headed Sycamore (Acer Brilliantissimum) is a must have tree for the garden.
