Leaves with irregularly yellow variegated margins constitute the most significant decorative element of the plant. Characteristic feature of the variety is slower growth than in the case of the species and complete frost hardiness.
The variety is recommended to parks and larger backyard gardens. It looks perfect while planted nearby water reservoirs or as a single tree on lawns or meadows. It can be composed with other species and varieties.
Variety of Feliks Rożyński introduced to cultivation in 1913 in nurseries in Podzamcze. Considered lost for years, until 1960s when it was found in the Botanical Garden of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. It was reproduced and introduced to production by our nursery in 1990s. Soon after that it was found that it was the last moment – at the beginning of this century, the tree in the botanical garden was felled by the wind.
