Eye-catching yellow spring foliage turns to a nice yellow-green by mid-summer but the yellow-orange stems retain their striking color even through winter on this handsome 40' tree; from Barry Yinger, Brookside Garden. S/M

While the new growth is bright yellow at emergence and amber throughout summer the twigs in winter are the real standout. They are arrayed in brilliant yellow as the older bark is golden rather than the typical grey. Vigor is not diminished in this cultivar, 40 ft.
