Acer palmatum ‘Summer Gold’ – Japanese maple 1-1.25m tall
Acer palmatum ‘Summer Gold’ is a small, deciduous tree/shrub with an upright habit and rounded crown. It has lobed leaves (palmate) that emerge as pink in spring, turning to lime green/yellow with a red edge in summer. Inconspicuous flowers also emerge in the spring, these flowers are followed by red winged seeds. In autumn, the lobed leaves then turn to seasonal shades of red and orange before they drop. Often planted for its foliage, the ‘Summer Gold’ Japanese maple is a popular architectural plant, ideal for planters, city gardens and Japanese style gardens. Reaching a mature height of 2-2.5m, this shrub will grow best in partial shade in moist, well-draining soils. It is best to position ornamental acers with shade in the morning and more sun in the afternoon. This will help to avoid leaf scorch caused by excessive exposure to the sun or the evaporation of morning dew on the leaves. ‘Summer Gold’ Japanese maple for sale at our tree nursery in Essex, get yours today!
