    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Golden-yellow bark makes this medium-sized maple a standout in the winter garden; bark is yellow-green summer and in fall the 3-lobed leaves turn bright shades of yellow and red; a nice small shade tree. S/M

    Has bright golden winter stems making a vibrant little tree all winter. The plant has pink highlights on its new growth and is an upright tree to perhaps 20 ft.

    By: Gossler Farms

    These are seedlings from Winter Gold so they don't have the bright yellow stems, rather they have intensely pink and red stems, like Erythocladum.

    You can see from the picture the winter effect of this tree; in summer it has a creamy look with various fall color to the leaves. Zone 6.
