Description

Acer cappadocicum 'Aureum' is an award winning medium sized ornamental tree with vibrant foliage. The young spring foliage is bright yellow and has orange or red margins before fading to green in the summer. In autumn the leaves change back to bright yellow before they fall.

Known as the Golden Cappadocian Maple or Cappadoci Maple tree, it has a lovely rounded crown and will grow to 5 x 4 metres in 20 years. Plant in a sheltered spot in moist but well-drained soil in full sun for the best foliage colour. Acer cappadocicum 'Aureum' is a popular choice for its vibrant lobed foliage and makes an attractive specimen tree.

AKA Golden Cappadocian Maple, The Cappadoci Maple

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.
