Arctic Gold® Maple is living proof that a tree can be both elegant and tough. In spring, fresh foliage emerges in brilliant shades of chartreuse and yellow, lighting up the landscape like sunlight filtering through stained glass. As the season unfolds, those glowing leaves mature into rich golden tones that create a striking contrast against darker evergreens and flowering shrubs. Its upright habit and refined branching structure bring sophistication to the garden without demanding excessive space. For homeowners seeking a unique ornamental tree with exceptional seasonal color, Arctic Gold® Maple delivers a display that feels truly special.
Developed as part of the renowned Jack Frost® Collection from Iseli Nursery, Arctic Gold® Maple combines the graceful beauty of Japanese maples with improved cold hardiness inherited from Korean maple ancestry. This remarkable hybrid tolerates winter temperatures that would challenge many ornamental maples, making it a valuable option for colder regions. However, gardeners in warmer climates should view it differently than a typical shade tree. To keep the golden foliage looking its best, afternoon shade and protection from intense summer heat are highly recommended. When provided with a sheltered location away from harsh western exposure, it rewards gardeners with healthier foliage and more vibrant color throughout the growing season.
As autumn arrives, the golden canopy erupts into brilliant shades of orange-red, delivering one final season of breathtaking beauty before winter. Its expected mature size of approximately 20 feet tall and 15 feet wide makes it an outstanding specimen tree for residential landscapes, garden focal points, and collector plantings. Beyond its beauty, Arctic Gold® Maple is prized for its rarity, cold hardiness, and long-lasting ornamental appeal. Whether you're building a four-season garden or searching for a standout maple that few neighbors will have, this golden treasure earns its place in the landscape year after year.

Acer Interesting Notes
Interesting Notes About ARCTIC GOLD® MAPLE
- Jack Frost® Heritage: Arctic Gold® is part of the groundbreaking Jack Frost® collection, a breeding program focused on creating beautiful ornamental maples capable of surviving some of North America's harshest winters.
- Not Your Typical Japanese Maple: While it shares the elegance and refined foliage associated with Japanese maples, its Korean maple ancestry contributes significantly greater cold tolerance and weather resilience.
- Golden Foliage Is Rare: Most ornamental maples are selected for red, burgundy, or green foliage. Consistent golden foliage throughout much of the growing season makes Arctic Gold® stand out in a landscape filled with more common maple colors.
- Heat Isn't Its Favorite Companion: Despite its rugged winter hardiness, Arctic Gold® performs best when protected from intense afternoon sun and excessive summer heat. Providing shade during the hottest part of the day helps preserve its signature golden foliage.
- A Designer's Secret Weapon: Landscape designers often pair golden-foliaged trees with blue conifers, dark green evergreens, and burgundy shrubs to create dramatic color contrasts that remain attractive throughout the growing season.
