The Gardener’s Answer
Hi, Mike: I do not know of any specific garden centers or nurseries that sell this tree but this may be a tree that can be special ordered from a local garden center in your area. Smaller garden centers order in smaller quantities so if it is available from their growers, they may be able to get one specifically for you. Fall tree orders will be arriving soon. Acer platanoides ‘Princeton Gold’ is a yellow-leaved Norway Maple. It has stunning yellow foliage with an oval growth habit, reaching 30-35 feet tall and wide at maturity. They are not fast growers and the foliage can bleach out in the hot summer sun. In our zone, it is best to planted where it will receive morning sun and afternoon shade; Northern or Eastern exposure is ideal to prevent scorching. This will help prevent scorching.
