Acer palmatum ‘Geisha’
Japanese Maple - A lady singer and entertainer
A slow, bushy dwarf Japanese Maple with amazing colouration. In the spring, new leaves emerge light-pink to creamish in colour dusted with green specks and blotches. By the summer, while the pink tones can usually persist, the creamy tones change to yellow and the leaves obtain green main veins. In the fall, the colour goes through orange, pink and crimson. Grows 3′ high and wide in a 10 year period.
