Gardeners Dream

Simon-Louis Freres is a spreading variety of the Sycamore which brings all-year round interest into a larger garden. It offers magnificent deep salmon pink new leaves in spring. The foliage gradually matures to a green with creamy-white splashes in the summer. Autumn sees a fiery display of gold and bronze before the leaves fall in the winter. A fabulous display to keep you enchanted through all seasons! Children love to collect the brightly coloured autumn leaves for school projects and for pressing between the pages of a heavy tome. Acer pseudoplatanus 'Simon-Louis Freres' is a slow growing tree with a rounded habit that will reach heights of 5m and a spread of 5m in a 20 year period. It is fully hardy and can be planted in full sun or partial shade. The tree is suited to most soil types but does best in fertile, well-drained soil. If you have a large garden, this is a must-have specimen tree to add colour and variety. It requires minimal maintenance. Plant one as a focal point in the middle of your garden and surround with a rocky landscape. Or, plant many in a row to create an imposing look along the sides of a long driveway. Sycamore Simon-Louis Freres is also ideal for planting in parks, public spaces and to line avenues.
