A really beautiful tree: it's not just its golden color (which is, indeed, fine) but it's overall lushness... even in full sun ; heat; not as fast or as large as the species but with similar rose-orange fall color. SUN/Med

Brilliant gold new growth in spring on upright branches of reddish-tan. Architectural trunk with undulating ridges with age. Apricot fall color. Large tree.
