Position: full sun
Soil: all well-drained soils
Rate of growth: fast
Flowering period: March to May
Hardiness: fully hardy

A fast-growing tree with golden yellow, spring foliage which darkens to pale green but then turns a uniform butter-yellow in autumn. It is a thornless variety that is tough enough to be planted in city gardens as it is quite tolerant of pollution. 'Sunburst' will eventually grow into a large tree, though not to the height expected of a single-stemmed form.
Garden care: Requires minimal pruning. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in late autumn or winter. When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly.
