Sycamore Trees

The sycamore – Acer pseudoplatanus offers spectacular variegated cultivars perfect for smaller gardens.

‘Simon-Louis Frères’ emerges with stunning shrimp-pink spring foliage that transforms to yellow-green with striking purple undersides.

‘Prinz Handjery’ displays purple-backed leaves with golden-yellow surfaces creating beautiful two-toned effects. Both cultivars produce drooping yellow flower clusters in late spring followed by distinctive winged red fruits.

These compact forms reach just 3 metres tall and wide, making them ideal for urban gardens where standard sycamores would overwhelm.
