Acer palmatum Beni maiko
This cultivar has just outstanding spring color and stays nice throughout the season. It is VERY hardy and forms an upright tree of medium size . It seems like a fairly fast grower … This is a highly recommended JM for those that want a different red from the usual ones.
Amazing red on new growth in spring.
