Acer palmatum Sekka yatsubusa
This is a nice hardy cultivar that also takes sun rather well. It has very small leaves that unlike other such JM's are also longer. The leaves tend to be bunched or on masses. The ends of the branches are flattened allowing growth to grow out of them in different directions . The actual look is quite pleasing. Translates to: "Petrified" "Cluster of Eight"
