A vigorous tree with powerful growth: requires plenty of space. Usually grows branches low down and forms a dense crown with several heavy main branches. Because of the low branching and widely spreading lateral branches old specimens are sometimes broader than they are tall. Old trunks are dark grey and have a deep network of grooves. The hairless leaf buds are on short stems. Young emerging leaves can be damaged by a late night frost but recover easily. The large pinnate leaves consist of (11) 17 to 21 (25) lanceolate leaflets. These are 8 - 12 cm long. The pendulous fruit catkins remain on the tree during the winter months. The nutlets carry two semicircular wings. Produces root suckers. Prefers moist soils and is resistant to long-lasting flooding. When the root system is healthy the tree also grows in drier places. Cannot take sea wind. Pterocarya fraxinifolia ends up as an imposing tree with a heavy spreading crown. The trunk bears deep grooves particularly in old specimens.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
Pterocarya fraxinifolia can eventually reach a height of 15 - 20 (25) m, fast growing, depending on the site and climate conditions.
Pterocarya fraxinifolia is fast growing and can eventually reach a height of 15 - 20 (25) m, fast growing, depending on the site and climate conditions.
The right time to plant Pterocarya fraxinifolia is during the dormancy period. In Western Europe, Pterocarya fraxinifolia with root balls can generally be planted from mid-November to late April, although this depends strongly on the climatic conditions and the species of tree.
