Acer shirasawanum Junihitoe
A newer selection with a very upright shape but horizontal leaf branch structure . Looks to be a real keeper . This is a short tree that can fit anywhere and hardy and colorful as all Japonicum are. It also seems to seed well and are orange /red samaras .. clusters of seeds in late summer making that a extra plus. Translated to "A kind of Kimono"
