Strikingly narrow, small to medium size tree. Narrow and columnar when young, becoming broader later. The upper lateral branches are longer than the central leader. The branches grow from the trunk at an angle of about 30°, thereby producing the columnar crown. Broadly spreading branches also form sometimes. Light corrective pruning is necessary for the first four or five years after planting out to attain a good crown shape. The leaves are bigger than with other cultivars, and dark green. It is free of red spider mite, slightly sensitive to gall mite and sensitive to mildew. Does not grow well enclosed by paved surfaces.
