Medium-size columnar tree growing to over 10 m with steeply rising main branches. Twigs are light brown and smooth, mature bark is grey-brown and deeply grooved when older. The leaves are slightly smaller than the species and turn golden yellow in autumn. This Hungarian selection has a columnar growth habit which is more or less the same as ‘Princeton Sentry’, but produces a distinctly squatter tree. When young, ‘Barabit’s Fastigiata’ already ramifies well, meaning young trees also have a nice full crown. Its strong rising branching pattern make it suitable as an avenue tree in narrow streets.
