Acer palmatum Coonara Pygmy
Coonara Pygmy is a very nice bushy dwarf JM . It tends to change fall color early so you actually can see the color in north before freezes. I had my doubts about it's hardiness but have become convinced it is a wetness thing ... keep it high and dry .. this is a very nice under rated dwarf cultivar . this one can get big so don't be conned by the pygmy name.. colors are fantastic can be grown in full shade or part sun...Jpeg is from full shade in summer. I have grown to really like this one. Propagated from a witches boom in Australia.
