Description
The name Ornata was given to trees whose leaves were not eaten by insects. Reputed to be a vigorous strain, with dark green leaves, the tree possesses a regular shape particularly suitable for street planting.
Cultivation
Two trees growing on the Grand-Rond in Toulouse were reported by Mlle. Y. de Ferre, to be still alive in 1964, and were noted for their resistance to insect attack. While the leaves of most trees in the area were eaten to a skeleton, those of 'Ornata' remained unaffected. Seed propagated plants largely kept their resistance to insect attack.
