Description: This vibrant cultivar of the Japanese Maple is prized for its brilliant golden-yellow foliage that provides a stunning contrast in the garden. The palmate leaves emerge in spring with bright lime-green tones that quickly develop into rich golden-yellow, maintaining this cheerful colour throughout the summer months. The five-lobed leaves have a slightly smaller, more delicate appearance than some other cultivars. In autumn, the foliage transforms to warm orange and red tones before dropping. This variety develops a graceful, rounded habit with elegant branching that creates an attractive canopy. The bright foliage makes an excellent focal point and provides a beautiful backdrop for darker-leaved plants.
