Acer pseudoplatanus Simon-Louis Frères is a popular, medium-sized form of common Sycamore. It has broad spreading, round to pyramid-shaped crown. It is popular for its variegated foliage. Young, leathery, five-lobed, leaves that emerge in spring are salmon pink and red, then turn green with cream and white speckles in summer. Yellow-green flowers appear in spring and are followed by winged samaras in early autumn. This plant is very resilient and easy to care for. It grows without problems on any type of soil as long as it is well-drained. It prefers full sun or partial shade. Since it tolerates draught, wind, urban pollution and salt, it’s a popular choice for planting in cities and coastal areas. Acer pseudoplatanus Simon-Louis Frères is named after the Simon-Louis Frères nursery at Plantieres in France where it was first cultivated in 1881. It is an interesting plant definitely worth of more attention.

About Us

During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.

What you will not find is hot tubs, garden furniture and plastic garden gnomes. In a nutshell, trees is what we know and trees is what we do, and only trees (and some shrubs to go with the trees).
