Variegated Sycamore

Acer pseudoplatanus ‘Simon-Louis Frères’ is a distinctive, slow-growing sycamore prized for its beautifully variegated foliage and compact, broadly spreading form. Young leaves emerge in a soft dusky pink, maturing through summer into an elegant mix of green, cream and pink. As autumn arrives, the canopy shifts to warm golden and bronze tones, extending its seasonal interest.

Smaller and slower growing than the species, this cultivar is well suited to gardens where space is limited, and it responds well to hard pruning—ideal for maintaining size and encouraging especially vivid foliage.

Like the classic sycamore, ‘Simon-Louis Frères’ is resilient and adaptable, tolerating wind, urban pollution and coastal conditions. These qualities, combined with its striking variegation, make it an excellent choice for gardens, parks and city planting schemes seeking both durability and ornamental appeal.
