A Norway maple, Drummondii is a medium-sized deciduous tree with a rounded crown and wonderful variegated lobed leaves with a green centre and wide creamy margins turning to yellow and orange in autumn. Charming clusters of small yellow spring flowers open on bare branches in spring before the leaves appear.

DID YOU KNOW: Lots of variegated trees can reverse? Reversion is when a branch of the tree starts to grow without variegation. In this instance, the drummondii leaf would change to pure green without the cream edge. If this happens remove these leaves or if it continues, remove small branches that have reverted.
