Yellow Threads Upright Japanese Maple is a dazzling linearilobum-style Japanese maple that brings rare golden tones into the garden. Its long, narrow "thread-like" leaves emerge a soft pale yellow in spring, gradually deepening to yellow-green through the summer, before finishing the year with a glowing golden fall display. The unusual bamboo-like foliage gives it a graceful, airy presence that feels both exotic and refined.
Compact and slow-growing, Yellow Threads Upright Japanese Maple typically matures around 6–8 feet tall in the landscape, making it ideal for smaller gardens, courtyards, specimen plantings. Its upright habit is neat and architectural, while its finely textured leaves create movement and contrast when paired with broader-leaved trees and shrubs.
Best grown in morning sun with protection from hot afternoon rays, Yellow Threads Upright Japanese Maple thrives in USDA Zones 5–8. This maple offers year-round beauty, pairing unusual foliage with four-season appeal, and is an excellent choice for collectors, bonsai enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a tree that feels both delicate and durable.
