Large tree with more or less vertical branches that later spread out widely. The leaves are palmately lobed, divided almost to the centre of the leaf. The leaves are 1 to 2 cm wide and have a serrated to shallow-lobed edge. The cultivar had been discovered in 1948, as a seedling in Born’s nursery in the Bavarian town of Rosenheim, but it was not described until 1959. One reason for the tree’s introduction was its somewhat better winter hardiness. It was originally named ‘Borns Graciosa’, but this name was rejected by the international register. The main roots may push up paved surfaces. Tolerant to moist soils, making it widely usable, but should preferably be used as a park tree due to risk of branches breaking off in high wind.
