Norway Maple 'Princeton Gold'

Celebrated for its glowing golden-yellow leaves, Norway Maple ‘Princeton Gold’ turns heads from spring through autumn. New foliage opens in brilliant chartreuse-yellow, deepens to gold-green in summer, then shifts back to a rich golden-yellow fall display. It tolerates a wide pH range and soil types while flourishing in full sun or afternoon shade. Its upright, rounded form makes it ideal for avenues, parks or as a standout garden specimen—with minimal pruning required to retain a clean outline.
