Acer palmatum Cotton Candy
A brand new Harold Johnson cultivar. It has great variegation that hold into the mid summer or longer in shaded areas. Its variegation is large green with white slashes of color quite phenomenal. Then later turns top solid good medium red. It looks like a keeper. Size is unknown but appears to be a smaller tree or shrub dwarfish but not a true dwarf. As with all of the late Harold's cultivars , this one looks like a true winner .. a Butterfly type but a bit smaller cultivar with much more brilliant variegation.
Zone 6, but a few say they can grow it in Zone 5, so be wary.
