Higasayama

Acer palmatum

About

Amazing upright variegated maple. Very old cultivar from Japan. Name may translate to Umbrella Mountain. Buds unfurl like yellow krinkled popcorn with bright pink sheaths. The leaf ages to a krinkled shape with a broad white outline. In cooler Springs, the white may have a pink tone also. Fall colors are electric combinations of pink, orange, and red.
