Acer palmatum 'Alan's Gold' Pinebark Japanese Maple

'Alan's Gold' is a pinebark Japanese maple that combines distinctive exfoliating bark with notable seasonal foliage color. New spring growth emerges orange-red before transitioning to bright golden-chartreuse, while fall color shifts through orange to red tones. The characteristic pinebark develops around the third to fourth year, creating the appearance of greater maturity as the tree ages. This cultivar reaches approximately 12-14 feet tall in 15 years.
