Acer palmatum 'Summer Gold'
Acer palmatum 'Summer Gold' is a small, slow-growing Japanese maple with an upright, rounded habit, typically reaching a height and spread of 2.5 metres. Its deciduous foliage showcases 7-lobed leaves that emerge pink in spring, accompanied by subtle green flowers. In summer, the leaves mature to a vibrant lime green with yellow tones and red edges, transitioning to striking shades of orange and red in autumn alongside red winged fruits. 'Summer Gold' thrives in moist but well-drained soils and prefers full shade to partially shaded positions.
