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.

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.

Within three growing seasons my one gallon is now 7ft tall. After this season I suspect it will fit the space beautifully. It gets about 8 hours of sun and is on a slope that stays moist, but drains quickly in the NC mountains. The foliage absolutely pops. One of my favorite trees in my collection for sure.

Ode to Summer Gold

Acer Palmatum Summer Gold
Your colors to me can never get old
Leaves in sun that turn to yellow
Warm the heart of this old fellow
Chartreuse, yellow, then fall orange too
Matched by none, or very few

This selection was one of the many I hadn't heard of a few years ago. As one of the Acer Palmatum cultivars that is often sold by MrMaple I eventually purchased one. Summer Gold is now one of my favorites. It is tough enough for some sun and can bring yellow to your garden too. Don't pass it up.
