Summer Gold Japanese Maple

Acer palmatum 'Summer Gold'

This selection maintains its warm golden-yellow colour through the heat of summer, where most yellow-leaved Japanese maples fade to plain green by July, Summer Gold holds its tones well into the season.

  • Leaves emerge chartreuse-yellow with a red border in spring
  • Matures to gold while retaining the red leaf border through summer, the persistent red edge is what sets it apart
  • Deep bright orange to red fall colour
  • Heat tolerant once established, more adaptable than most golden Japanese maples

Growing & Maintenance Tips
Best planted in a well-drained soil with high organic matter. Japanese maples are grown as specimen trees or multi-stemmed plants. Any pruning should be done in summer. Mulch well, but avoid heaping mulch against the stem. Most cultivars need full sun or light afternoon shade.
