Acer negundo 'Aureomarginatum' – Acer negundo 'Aureomarginatum'

View prices and availability
Small to medium-sized tree (sometimes large shrub) with a wide, upright growth habit, reaching a height of circa 6 - 10 m. The differences with the other cultivars of A. negundo are few, but for the colour of the leaves. 'Aureomarginatum' has dark green leaves with creamy-yellow to cream coloured margins. Regularly completely creamy-yellow leaves appear on the tree too. During the summer months this “variegated” effect becomes less conspicuous. The tree grows both on wet and dry sites. It has a deep rooting main root which branches out strongly. This is an old female cultivar, dating from 1885. 'Aureomarginatum' can perfectly be applied in parks and large gardens.
