A Dutch selection of this elegant tree with the same graceful spreading habit and distinctly veined leaves, unfolding red and maturing to mid-green. What sets this cultivar apart is the size of the pendulous, hop-like fruits, which are larger and wider than the species, reminiscent of lanterns as they ripen. Yellow autumn colour. Does well on all well-drained soils, but prefers moist, organically rich ground. Tolerates exposure. H6
