Fairly slow growing, elegant, medium-size tree with an open, broad oval crown, eventually up to about 10 m in height. Forms a straight central leader. The leaves are glossy dark green, turning golden yellow in autumn. Around May/June, after the leaves emerge, the dense panicles of creamy white flowers appear. The flowers are deliciously fragrant and stand out well against the dark green background of the leaves. Large street tree that can also be used in paved surfaces. Tolerates air pollution, (sea) wind and a certain amount of road salt. Prefers dryer, preferably calcareous soils.
