  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.
