View prices and availability
A Dutch selection with a regular manner of growth that is more slender than that of the species. The crown is narrow pyramidal at first but broader later. Height 12 – 15 m. The trunk is dark brown and grooved and the young twigs are green to reddish brown. The bright green leaves have a heart-shaped base and taper to an abrupt point at the top. Pungent flowers appear in early summer, growing in short umbels. These are followed by fairly small fruit that are first grey and felt-like and later bare. Fairly unsusceptible to aphids. Its narrow manner of growth makes 'Roelvo' excellently suitable for streets and avenues. Winter hardiness zone: 4
