Delicate cut leaves are silver and downy beneath, producing good gold-yellow autumn colour. Greenish yellow flowers can appear as early as February. Exposed windswept sites should be avoided as the thin upright branches are liable to break. Acer Growing Tips: Very easy to grow in a wide range of well-drained soils.
