Acer palmatum Ki hachijo
A very sturdy hardy cultivar that forms a small/medium size nicely rounded tree. The green is very bright and stunning . The leaves are double serrated and almost like toothy snowflakes to me they are feathery if you like birds rather than winter . This tree does not like wet areas or a lot of sun , but for the right spot it is very different and cool. Many growers consider this their favorite JM
