Description

Narrowly columnar tree to 50' tall with a 14' spread. The key idendifying characteristics of this cultivar are: a lack of a single central trunk above 6' from the ground; major and minor branches are vertical; short stubby lateral branchlets on secondary branches. This cultivar and 'Temple's Upright' were long confused in the literature, but are easily distinguished. Neither are currently easy to find in the trade.
