£1,295.00 incl. VAT
Acer cappadocicum ‘Aureum’ is a shapely tree with a rounded canopy. It can reach 12m in height and 8m across.
Hardiness level Green
In spring, the five lobed leaves emerge red with a sharply pointed, slightly flexed and elegant shape. As the leaves develop the colour changes to a bright golden yellow, fading to green for the summer. In autumn, the tree becomes a bright, butter yellow before the foliage falls, leaving a pretty round headed silhouette for the winter. Hardy and easy, this is a handsome tree for full or partial sun on most moist but well-drained soils.
