Acer shira Kawaii
This is one of my new favorite shirasawanum . It is dissected like some other true dissectum but has the hardiness of a shirasawanum . It is simply gorgeous . unlike many newer introductions are the same old same old .. BUT this one is strikingly different in color leaf shape and very small size This is a must have for the collector and novice alike ..it seems easy to grow and can be kept in a container or planted out if you protect it from critters and too much sun,, Even in mostly shade this one colors well.
