Description
Acer platanoides ‘Drummondii’ is a distinctive variegated form of the Norway Maple, prized for its attractive cream-edged green leaves that create a bright, eye-catching canopy throughout the growing season. The bold foliage provides strong contrast in mixed planting schemes and makes an excellent feature tree.
In spring, clusters of small yellow-green flowers appear before the leaves fully emerge, adding subtle seasonal interest. The foliage maintains its variegation through summer before turning soft yellow tones in autumn. With its broad, rounded crown and strong structure, ‘Drummondii’ is ideal for lawns, avenues, and larger gardens.
Hardy, reliable, and tolerant of urban conditions, this variety performs well in a wide range of soils and environments.
Supplied as a standard tree with 12–14cm girth in a 45-litre pot, approximately 3–3.5m in height, this well-established specimen offers immediate structural and ornamental impact.
