A smaller variant of the common Sycamore, with distinctive salmon-pink foliage in spring which turns yellow, then to green in summer. Red helicopter-like fruit are produced in autumn. This variety forms a lollipop shaped top making it a perfect specimen for any garden or park space, to provide shape, colour and interest all year round. Will grow up to 4m tall by 4m wide. It will tolerate most condiitons but does need some protection from winds. 'Brilliantissimum' are always grafted at the top so there will be a good height of clear stem, before the top branches,  where the lollipop habit forms.
