Sykomor lönn "Aleksandr Nevsky"
Sykomor lönn "Aleksandr Nevsky" - Acer pseudoplatanus L.
A slender tree up to 40 m high; with a dense, beautiful, tent-shaped crown in single specimens, broadly cylindrical - in plantations, up to 12 m in diameter.
The trunk has ash-gray bark, cracking and peeling off in large pieces in old specimens, like a sycamore, exposing young bark of a light gray or pink color, which makes the trunk very decorative. The leaves are 3-5-lobed, up to 17 cm, dark green above, dull, bare, glaucous or whitish below, sometimes purple-red, with shallow, pointed, coarsely toothed lobes.
Due to its vigorous growth, spectacular oval crown and yellow-green foliage of a beautiful shape, which retains its color for a long time, it belongs to the group of highly decorative species for group, row and single plantings. In culture for a very long time. 55% of summer cuttings take root when treated with a 0.05% solution of IBA (indolebutyric acid) for 17 hours. Seeds are stored in tightly sealed containers or sealed plastic bags in an unheated room. Germination is maintained for 2 years. Laboratory seed germination is 85%, soil germination is 75%. Seeds are sown immediately after collection (shoots appear in the spring of the following year) or stratified first in peat for 45 days at 0-3 °C, and then under snow for 45 days. Planting depth is 4-5 cm.
