Species Description

Introduced from central and south east Europe. It is tolerant of ‘sea spray’ and may be planted near the coast. Its heavy leaf fall can mean that the ground flora underneath the tree is limited.

Sometimes the leaves are covered with small, red 'blobs' / projections - these are galls caused by a mite (a small spider-like creature).The female mite lays eggs in these structures.
