    Apparently a yellowleaf cultivar, such as 'Luteus'.

    you sure its not just a little bit hungry? lutea's almost impossible to source here in the UK, darts gold is readily available.

    'Luteus' young growths clear yellow. Does that sound right Shohin?

    Hi, everybody,
    Ron, I don't think it's a luteus, which has more yellowish leaves. Compare with this picture:
    http://oregonstate.edu/dept/ldplants/phopu1.htm
    I think it's roughly the same colour. So, probably it's just a common ninebark.
    Barvinok,
    I don't think it is a crataegus of some sort. It looks more like a ninebark. Thank you for trying to help.
    Oscar,
    The little tree is very well fed (liquid fertilizer on an almost weekly basis, osmocote etc.). Yet, as i said before, it is more reasonable to say that it is not a luteus. Maybe this is the colour of the leaves in spring. Check the link I sugested to Ron. The color looks pretty much the same.
    Regards,
    Marius from Romania
