Acer palmatum Umegae
This is one fantastic rare super hardy cultivar . You’d never know it’s hardiness by looking at it . The beautiful luminescence belies its super hardy nature. It has done better than most every other JM including Bloodgood over cold winters with very little die back . It is simply gorgeous all season long . It forms a small tree that will fit most any where. It is a slow grower but worth the wait . You can’t do much better than this one.
