A new scholar tree that appears to be extremely rare in cultivation. The little information we've been able to locate traces its origin to Japan. Plants boast unique golden yellow twigs that stand in stark contrast to the hunter green stems common of the straight species. Refined, pale green foliage emerges in spring with rich butter yellow tones and remains attractive throughout the growing season. Although we've yet to witness the flowers, we imagine that plants are capable of the dynamic floral display set forth by typical specimens. Ultimate size is still largely unknown yet we anticipate they'll develop tree-like proportions. Wish we had more details but we're still learning with this one.
