Acer palmatum Nishiki gasane
I have had this tree for years and NEVER seen it available til now . It is super super hardy has great color although some leaves are not variegated. It is a bit more variegated than Sagara nishiki and less subtle. the yellow is on the edge of the leaves in both cultivars . It grows to a nicely shaped shrub that does not get wide so it fits just about anywhere . I love mine and always show it off!! the more sun it gets the better the variegation but in hotter areas you have to shade it. The photo is in total shade so variegation by mid summer in shade is more white
