The name is also found without accents or with slight typographic variations (\u2018Simon Louis Freres\u2019, \u2018Simon-Louis Freres\u2019). It is often described as a sycamore maple with a more contained stature than the typical species, with pink budbreak and then green-and-white variegation through the season.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Simon-Louis Fr\u00e8res\u2019 is a sycamore maple with particularly decorative foliage: in spring, the young leaves open with a very visible pink tint, then the variegation evolves into a green background heavily splashed with white\/cream in summer.
