'Aurea'
This small to medium size tree grows to 8 m (25ft) tall by 4 m (12ft) wide and in spring it produces bright yellow new growth which is a stunning feature in the landscape. 

During summer the leaves turn yellow-green, then orange during autumn before falling. It prefers an open sunny wind protected position as the leaves wind burn easily and grows on moist, well drained fertile soils.
