Acer cappadocicum subsp. lobelii – Acer cappadocicum subsp. lobelii

View prices and availability
Medium-sized tree with a conspicuously slender, columnar shaped crown, turning into a more vase-like shape when maturing. The young twigs are distinctively covered by a bluish white wax coating, a characteristic feature of this cultivar. The shiny, dark green leaves have five forward pointing lobes. In autumn the leaf turns yellow. 'Lobel' is a cultivar that is not tolerant to a high pH like the other cultivars of the A. cappadocicum. 'Lobel' is, however, wind resistant and can perfectly be used in hard surfaces. This excellent cultivar is extremely suitable for narrow streets, but 'Lobel' is also very characteristic as a park tree.
