Then the tone becomes calmer (yellow-green), making it easy to pair with darker foliage (conifers, hedges, borders). Its overall size remains contained for a sycamore maple, with a dense, well-defined silhouette.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1257\" data-end=\"1269\">Colours<\/h3>\n<ul data-start=\"1271\" data-end=\"1497\">\n<li data-start=\"1271\" data-end=\"1350\">\n<p data-start=\"1273\" data-end=\"1350\"><strong data-start=\"1273\" data-end=\"1286\">Spring<\/strong> : young leaves shrimp pink \/ salmon, very decorative.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1351\" data-end=\"1423\">\n<p data-start=\"1353\" data-end=\"1423\"><strong data-start=\"1353\" data-end=\"1360\">Summer<\/strong> : yellow-green then light green (greener toward late summer).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1424\" data-end=\"1497\">\n<p data-start=\"1426\" data-end=\"1497\"><strong data-start=\"1426\" data-end=\"1437\">Autumn<\/strong> : yellow to golden yellow (intensity varies with climate).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-start=\"1499\" data-end=\"1517\">Habit &amp; vigour<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1519\" data-end=\"1780\">Compact habit with a dense crown, forming a well-proportioned small tree.
