Aureum Japanese Maple*

Acer palmatum 'Aureum'

Aureum Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum 'Aureum') is amazing for its stunning color and shape. The leaves are a beautiful yellow-green color with spectacular red tinges to them in the Spring and Fall, while they are a deeper green in the summertime. Uniquely shaped with its 5-7 toothed lobes and slim, graceful serration, it is also a slow growing dwarf maple tree, with a growth rate of 9-15 inches per year. Additionally it is quite tolerant to some shade, making it ideal for semi-shaded locations in the garden. Add the beautiful fall colors of orange and yellow to the mix, and you have an unbeatable statement tree that glows against the landscape.
