Acer palmatum Murasaki kiyohime
This is a much larger dwarf than the Murasaki hime. it is a wide spreader and can get big as far as wide BUT NEVER TALL. It is NOT for rock gardens and small places like the plant Murasaki hime. But is spectacular in color and is exceptionally hardy. The leaves are super small really cool with edges of red and the fall color is gorgeous . This one is easy to grow .. you may have slight sun damage and minor winter top damage but it is easy to trim back and new growth grows quickly. I have one planted out and it is very cool. Highly recommended dwarf with character
