Acer palmatum ‘Aeken Ie’s’
Japanese Maple - Aekan Ie's
A ‘ribbonleaf’ style of Japanese Maple with leaves consisting of long narrow lobes to give it a very airy look. Red new spring leaves turn dark purple and maintains this colour through summer until fall when it turns a reddish-orange. Similar to ‘Red Pygmy’ but more horizontal growing. Grows 6′ high by 4′ wide in a 10 year period.
