Description
A well-known Japanese maple cultivar with unusual coral pink young stems that create a striking effect, especially in winter. This feature and the superb yellow to apricot autumn foliage make it an elegant tree ideal for protected areas of gardens and parks.
The autumn colours are brilliant yellow with an apricot-orange tinge. Leaves can occasionally have seven to nine lobes. The young stems are bright coral pink to red which intensifies and becomes more obvious in the dormant period. Older branches gradually become brown with attractive green striations.
'Vase' shaped, multi-stemmed small tree.
