A rare selection of Arboretum Altdorf in Germany. Overall height and spread is unknown in this country, but it likely will form a small to medium-sized, deciduous tree, 30-40', upright when young. One of several variegated forms of the species and in this case, leaves open green and white, 3-4" long, oval in shape. Variegation reputedly holds up well in full sun. Young twigs are brown to red in color while older bark is smooth and gray.
