Acer platanoides ‘Princeton Gold’ is known for its vibrant golden-yellow foliage that emerges in early spring and holds its colour well into summer. Unlike many yellow-leaved trees, it retains brightness without scorching, even in full sun. With a broad, rounded crown and strong, upright growth, it reaches 10-12m at maturity. Ideal for avenue planting, urban greening, or as a colourful specimen in larger gardens. Hardy and low-maintenance, it performs well in a range of soil types and tolerates pollution and drought once established.
