Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Deciduous tree to 60' with a wide rounded top and open crown. Glossy, smooth and leathery yellow-green leaves are 2-4" wide and triangular. These coarsely toothed leaves turn butter-yellow in fall. Spring foliage opens a fresh apple green then darkens in summer. Prone to rust when planted near the coast. This variety is selected from parent stock in Carson City, Nevada, and allegedly does not sucker as much as others. Since it is a male clone, there is no spring 'fluff'. Named after John Fremont, who noted them in 1844 at Pyramid Lake, Nevada with Kit Carson. In winter, the inner bark was palatable to their horses. Casts gracious and decorative shadow mingled with gold light and a soft, rhythmic quaking in the wind. Well-suited to stream beds or other areas of water run-off. Hardy to 0F. Central California, Sierra foothills, San Luis Rey River.
