'Sidney Pearce' is a large tree with a broad oval, later rounded crown that can grow to over 20 m tall in favourable conditions. The trunk is usually short, so the crown starts low. Young shoots and twigs red, later green-brown. The older bark is grey-green. In hand-shaped divided leaves, the middle of the seven partial leaves is distinctly longer than the other six. 'Sidney Pearce' flowers more profusely than the species A. indica. Slender, up to 35 cm long erect racemes appear around mid-June. Apart from the fact that the clusters are longer than in A. indica, the flowers are also more densely packed, giving the clusters a fuller appearance. The flowers are pure white with a yellow, later red spot in the centre. The long stamens and pistils protrude quite far from the flowers. The seeds are in unstalked, egg-shaped husks.
'Sidney Pearce' was named in London's Kew Gardens in 1935. Like A. indica, 'Sidney Pearce' is suitable for use in parks, wide avenues and large gardens. Plant the tree preferably in nutrient-rich, deeply rootable soil. The soil should be well-drained, but not dry. Hardiness zone: 8a
