Acer negundo Kellys Gold

Acer negundo ‘Kelly’s Gold’, commonly known as Kelly’s Gold Box Elder, is a fast-growing, deciduous tree prized for its striking golden-yellow foliage.

In spring, new leaves emerge a bright lime-green before maturing to a vibrant gold, providing year-round visual interest. This small to medium-sized tree typically reaches 5–7 meters tall with a broad, rounded canopy, making it ideal as a feature tree, shade tree, or for brightening up landscapes.

In Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, and Brisbane, ‘Kelly’s Gold’ thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. It adapts to a variety of soil types and tolerates heat, moderate drought, and urban conditions. Regular watering during establishment promotes strong growth, while occasional pruning helps maintain shape. Resistant to many pests and diseases, this low-maintenance tree is perfect for gardens needing a splash of golden color and seasonal interest.
