New variety of plane tree resistant to canker stain (Ceratocystis platani) and anthracnose, with a semi-upright habit The ENDURA® range is the result of 20 years of research and experimentation, a unique collaboration between INRAE and Sapho. The first two varieties will be available as young plants from this autumn 2026. They are resistant to canker stain and anthracnose. They are the result of different cross- breeding, to ensure greater diversity and minimise risks The Platanus x hispanica ENDURA® Fa 'A17' variety is characterised by a semi-upright habit when young. It forms a narrower crown (compared to the ENDURA® Sol '8R61' variety). Its shape is particularly well suited to dense rows. Award:  INNOVERT 2026– Bronze winner with a special mention from the jury for the ENDURA® plane tree range – Salon du Végétal 2026

The first two varieties will be available as young plants from this autumn 2026. They are resistant to canker stain and anthracnose. They are the result of different cross- breeding, to ensure greater diversity and minimise risks The Platanus x hispanica ENDURA® Sol '8R61' variety is very vigorous, with a very branched and wider crown (compared to the ENDURA® Fa 'A17' variety); best suited for wider rows or for large shading requirements.

A novelty for the Sorbaria genus : foliage with long lasting colours, a growth that stays compact Concerning the Sorbaria species, where novelties are rare, PINK HOPI® 'COUSORB05' has been chosen for its qualities, different from those of 'Sem'.The compound, serrated foliage is delicate, light and harmoniously layered. It is a remarkable plant, due to its young variegated shoots which are red, pink and cream, then veined with white. Bud burst is extremely precocious, starting in early March. The shoots withstand the cold (at least up to -3° C). The colourful period lasts a month longer than in the traditional varieties, the shrub shines until the end of Mai. Later, in the summer, the foliage turns green.The shape of PINK HOPI® has the additional advantage of staying compact and this selection produces less suckers. Its dense foliage makes it a good ground cover.The white flower panicles bloom in June - July.The shrub does not need any maintenance (neither treating nor pruning). It is very hardy.
