Description

The golden yellow color of new foliage is characteristic of this variety. Its leaves turn green when they mature, then turning yellow in fall when getting ready to drop. This thornless and seedless tree can reach 40'-50' tall. It prefers full sun and has low watering needs once it's established. Roots can be invasive so do not use as street trees. 'Sunburst' provides filtered shade and is very attractive.

Apply as little fertilizer as possible.

If you use fertilizer make sure it stays on the landscape, and carefully water it in so there is NO runoff.
