Acer negundo 'Winter Lightning' - 12 litre

(Full plant info in our Plant Finder)

A striking form of the accommodating box elder. This has bark that is brightly coloured in shades of yellow or golden yellow, a highlight during winter. The tree is sometimes grown in the same manner as the dogwoods, being cut back to the central trunk, a few feet from ground level in spring, so that the especially bright young growth becomes the primary feature of interest. The broad, variably lobed leaves are green but turn yellow and gold in autumn. These are held on red-orange young stems which retain their colour well.
