Acer Platanoides Princeton Gold (‘Prigo’) (PBR)

Awarded an AGM by the Royal Horticultural Society, this is a handsome golden-leaved Norway maple, that holds its colour well throughout the season. It also has a good resistance to scorch, so it will be equally happy in a sunny or partially shaded spot. An eye-catching tree, it’s probably at its absolute best when the new foliage is at its most vibrant gold. It makes a stunning focal point or feature, and once established it will take pollution and drought in its stride.
