Acer palmatum 'Higasayama'
Higasayama Japanese Maple
Also known as the Popcorn Maple, this is a stunning selection. In the spring, the buds unfold, revealing pale, cream, tightly curled leaflets, which are surrounded by crimson. The young leaves are dark green with cream and pink margins, which mature to a creamy green. In the fall the margins become orange, dark yellow or red toned. Best when grown in filtered light. 'Higasa yama' means "the umbrella mountain".
