A column-shaped selection with a narrow, column-shaped crown. The main stem grows remarkably straight and bears lateral branches at an angle of approx. 45° . Height 15 - 25 m, width to approx. 8 m. Slow-growing, particularly when young. The fan-shaped leaves and flower buds are on short shoots. The leaves grow in bundles of 3 - 5 together and have an incised top. Adding decorative value is the golden yellow colour this tree turns in autumn. 'Fastigiata' is a male selection, so without fruit, thus excellently suitable as avenue and street tree. Its narrow crown renders it suitable for small gardens, as well. Requires a site with ample light. Winter hardiness zone: 5a
