'Michred' is a robust and healthy deciduous tree with an upright branching habit. During summer, its mid-green, sharply-toothed leaflets showcase a slightly silver underside and transform into striking shades of yellow and orange in autumn. In the spring, the tree adorns itself with clusters of creamy-white flowers that later give way to bunches of small red berries, favoured by birds. This small to medium-sized tree is tolerant of urban pollution and coastal conditions.
