Description

One of the very best Maples for golden yellow leaf colour, Acer platanoides Princeton Gold shows striking clear yellow spring and summer foliage. Yellow clusters of small flowers appear on the bare branches in April along with helicopter-like seeds later in the year amonst the colourful lobed foliage.

This variety of the Norway maple tree is very hardy and resilient to sun scorch, but does prefer a sheltered position. It is also tolerant of most soil types, pollution and even some drought. With an attractive upright, spreading habit, expect a height and spread of around 8 x 5 metres in 20 years. This Yellow Norway Maple makes a great tree where space allows.

AKA Princeton Gold Norway maple, Acer platanoides Princetown Gold, Prigo

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
