A Dutch cultivar with a tight, broadly conical crown with a pointed top. 'Brabant' has a good, straight main branch with upwards-slanting branches that are sturdier than those of the species. Height 20 - 25 m, width up to approx. 15 m. The smooth trunk is dark grey: young twigs are greenish grey and felt-like. The leaves are more or less round, dark matt green with a remarkably thick white felty underside. In the autumn they turn light yellow and stay on the tree for a long time. In July, pendulous umbels of strongly aromatic flowers appear. 'Brabant' is used often thanks to its uniform manner of growth. Fairly unsusceptible to aphids. Winter hardiness zone: 6a
