Acer palmatum 'Summer Gold'

Golden Yellow - Heat Tolerant Japanese Maple

Zones 5-9

'Summer Gold' leafs out as bright chartreuse to yellow green with a red border. The leaf on 'Summer Gold' brightens to gold as the summer progresses providing a dynamic contrast with both red and green maples. This may be one the most heat tolerant selections of the golden leaf types as this maple does not show any burn when grown in full sun in the mountains of North Carolina.

Fall color is a deep bright orange to fiery red. This Italian selection by Ghiradelli Nursery is a summer delight in the garden. 'Summer Gold' will reach 6-8 ft in 10 years making it the perfect mid-sized golden tree for your garden or landscape.
