ACER shirasawanum 'Aureum'
|
Description: Very slow growing and upright when young and will mature
at around 20 feet in very old age. The leaves in spring are a nice
yellow-green and in summer turn all yellow. In the fall they
show spectacular colors varying from yellow to orange to a
deep red, all on the same leaf. This plant is very desirable and
quite rare in gardens because it is difficult to propagate on a
commercial scale. Plant has chartreuse leaves that are full and
round. In fall the leaves develop a large red margin with the
remainder taking on an almost blue cast. One of the most
outstanding maples for any garden.
