All about Simon-Louis Freres maple

Simon-Louis Freres is a popular medium-sized maple, characterised by its spectacular variegated leaves.

The leaves emerge in spring with an unusual dusky pink colour, and fade to a variegated green / cream over summer, finally taking on brick-red tints in the autumn.

As with all forms of the species Acer pseudoplatanus the greenish-yellow flowers which appear in April and May have little ornamental value - but they produce large quantities of pollen and nectar and are very popular with bees.

Growing and Training

Like all maples, Simon-Louis Freres is an attractive well proportioned tree. It is slow-growing, and not likely to get too big.

This is a cold-hardy tree that will tolerate difficult conditions, including polluted urban streets or exposed locations. However for best results plant in a sunny open situations, and periodically prune back shoots to encourage younger growth which has the best colour.
