Rare Gold Digger Yellow Coral Bark Japanese Maple
AREA 51 COLLECTION™ PLANTS THAT ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD
Zones 6-9
'Gold Digger' is a MrMaple introduction from the Area 51 Collection. 'Gold Digger' has great winter interest of light yellow towards the base of the tree with more orange toward the tips on the latest growth.
The leaves on the new growth are often a peach color that fades to the tips turning darker red. The leaf matures to a solid green. During the summer, the bark is a light yellow where this selection gets its name, 'Gold Digger'. Fall color on the leaves typically starts out with yellow and can mature to a bold red. We expect 'Gold Digger' to get to 8-10 ft in 15 years.
Limited Quantities Available !! As we have over a thousand cultivars of Japanese maples, we often do not have many of each cultivar. We recommend that you buy the Japanese maples you want immediately as we often sell out of certain selections.

Wow what a tree !!! It is so beautiful and Healthy !!! And as a 3 gallon, it is HUGE !!! As tall as me and I'm tall . I can't wait to see it in spring. Planting this in my backyard where I can see that yellow bark all winter. Also have a bihoux that is growing beautifully in the front yard, also from Mr. Maple. They never disappoint me !!!! I tell everyone about them !!!
It's a little early to tell, but this appears to be a nice looking Japanese maple. It shipped well in the summer months with little to no damage. I'm hoping it's a hearty variety. The tree shape is a little odd with a long branch shooting out more horizontally. I'll look at pruning it back some maybe in a year or so. Or possibly staking it more upright if possible
Beautiful as always! Thank You!!!
I'm in central Florida and was looking for something that reminded me of home in the pacific northwest. I wanted to find something that would be able to stand up to the Florida heat and the gold digger is doing great so far. It came to me 3 days after i ordered it and ended up being a Bigger plant than I was expecting beautiful little thing. I pulled it out of a box and put it in a pot for a few weeks to see how it does in the yard before committing to a specific spot. I found it's happy place in a shadier part of the yard with filtered sunlight in between the magnolias. It added the perfect touch! Couldn't be happier
