Acer pseudoplatanus 'Eskimo Sunset'

Sycamore 'Eskimo Sunset' Maple

ink, and green foliage and strong landscape presence. New growth emerges soft pink to salmon, then matures to green leaves edged and splashed with creamy white, creating a bright, high-contrast canopy throughout the season.

Leaves are large and maple-like, typical of sycamore maples, and hold their variegation well in cooler climates. In fall, foliage turns soft yellow, adding subtle autumn interest. The tree develops a broad, upright to rounded habit and is more vigorous than ‘Brilliantissimum’, making it suitable for medium to large landscapes.

‘Eskimo Sunset’ is tough and adaptable, tolerating wind, urban conditions, and a range of soils, though it performs best with some protection from intense afternoon sun to preserve leaf color.
