Sycamore 'Brilliantissimum'
Prized for its shrimp pink, foliage, award-winning Acer pseudoplatanus ‘Brilliantissimum’ (Sycamore Maple) is a slow-growing, spreading, deciduous tree with a rounded crown. Emerging salmon pink in spring, the simple, opposite leaves gradually then turn yellow-green and finally dark green, mottled with cream in summer. This Sycamore Maple requires consistently cooler climates.
