Deciduous tree which is propagated
by grafting on the trunk of M. alba.
The branches develop from the
point of grafting and in the first
year reach 30-50cm. If they are
pruned after the danger of frost is
over, they will grow vigorously,
reaching over 2m before the end of
autumn, almost horizontally, to
form a wide, semi-globular crown.
Emerald green leaves, darker on
the underside, with 3 irregular
lobes, 20–25cm in length and
width. Flowers in April-May in
pendulous, greenish-white catkins. Fruit: numerous fruits are formed but most of
them fall when they are still green. The few that manage to ripen are red or reddishblack.
Growing requirements are the same as M. alba. Pruning short the branches at
the end of every winter is recommended. Very popular in the south of France and now
also in Italy, especially in seaside holiday resorts as it tolerates saltiness.
