    A summer beacon, without a doubt, the leaves on this 40-60' tree open chartreuse, turn to GOLD and stay that way until they turn orange-red in fall. S/M

    By: Forestfarm

    We're honored to work with so many great plantsmen. Charles Allen of Green Biz Nursery asked us to bring to market this distinctive selection. Foliage emerges light green and quickly changes to golden color without fading for the remainder of the season. Autumn foliage is red and orange; growth is only a little slower than typical of the species.
