Description

The Acer negundo 'Kelly's Gold' is a small, deciduous tree with a bushy growth habit. One of its most stunning features is the way its leaves change color throughout the seasons. Starting as a vibrant yellow, the foliage matures into a yellow-green before transforming into a golden yellow in the autumn. Its dense nature makes it ideal for providing shade and adding a touch of richness to any garden.

It prefers full sun or partial shade within a sheltered position, in moist but well-drained soil. Ultimate height and spread in 20 years is approximately 12 by 8 meters.

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.
