A golden-leaved form of this elegant tree with rounded, heart-shaped leaves. On 'Claim Jumper', new leaves when opening are pink-tinged, then open to a soft yellow. If the tree is planted in all-day full sun, then the leaves remain yellow or sometimes fade to almost white! If planted in part shade then the leaves will turn green during summer. 

This beauty needs a little extra care, but it's totally worth it! When young, it will not tolerate periods of drought; once it is well-established short periods of drought are okay but not recommended for best appearances. Protect from strong winds and, ideally, the hottest afternoon sun. 

Mature size: 20-30 feet tall & 15-20 feet wide

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
