Acer Palmatum is a deciduous shrub or small tree reaching heights of 6-10m popular with gardeners for its colorful foliage ease of growing.
Many cultivars have characteristics that come into prominence during different seasons, including the colour of new or mature leaves, extraordinary fall colour, colour and shape of samaras, or even bark that becomes more brightly coloured during the winter. Some cultivars can scarcely be distinguished from others unless labeled. In some cases, identical cultivars go by different names, while in other cases, different cultivars may be given the same name. |
