Acer palmatum Kasen nishiki
This JM has subtle variegation unlike many other gaudy ones that really seem almost out of place with out a clown car beside it .I personally prefer this type as I really don't want to show off;>) ..it is a sturdy hardy variegated JM of medium height. It is NOT a new introduction but rather discovered in Japan in 1882 now that's vintage . If you like variegated cultivars like I do but want a more subtle look and have a tree with heritage this one is for you
