A sycamore tree known for its changing spring colour
The Acer pseudoplatanus ‘Brilliantissimum’ is chosen for the way its leaves emerge. In early spring, new growth appears in soft tones of pink, peach and bronze, creating a short but distinctive display before settling into green.
It is a tree that marks the start of the growing season clearly, then blends more quietly into the garden as the year continues.
Who this tree is for
This suits gardens where seasonal change is noticed and appreciated. It works well as a feature in smaller spaces, where its spring colour can be seen up close.
It is often chosen by those looking for something slightly different, without moving too far from a familiar, hardy tree.
Colour that shifts with the season
In spring, the young leaves emerge in soft pink and copper tones, gradually fading as they mature. Through summer, the foliage becomes a more settled green.
In autumn, the leaves take on warmer tones before falling, leaving a simple structure through winter.
