Acer palmatum Shiraname
A very nice very hardy tree that looks great all season . This one is special to me since it is one of the first ones I received . It has VERY nice leaf shape and it's tree form is desirable suitable for even smaller spaces . A very nice, ancient cultivar first mentioned in 1710. (Not to be confused with Shigirame.) Everyone loves it but it is a pretty rare find. I have grafted this one and we have several that I grafted in inventory for sale (2017).
