Comments:
A female broadleaf evergreen selection with very large, olive-green leaves. The name on this selection means "large leaf" in German. A tall, narrow selection, you can expect 20' tall and only 6' wide. In the presence of a suitable male pollinator, this selection will produce red fruit, however it's not noted for abundance. Wonderful as a specimen plant or in groups.
