Yellow Bird Japanese Maple – 3 Gallon Pot

A remarkable Japanese Maple, ‘Yellow Bird’ sports some of the largest leaves of the many upright varieties we have growing in our own gardens. The serrated palmate leaves emerge a glowing soft-chartreuse in spring gradually transitioning to a rich green by summer. As temperatures begin to cool in fall the leaves begin to turn to brilliant golden-yellow later developing orange to red splashes around the margins before finally turning to solid red. With a beautiful upright rounded vase shape to around 15 feet tall and equally as wide, the tiered branches display the masses of leaves layered in a way that resembles a birds wing, hence the name. Excellent in landscape boorders or containers, Yellow Bird is definitely one of those trees that will always have you looking forward to its fall color show.
