Acer palmatum ‘Mikazuki’
Japanese Maple - Crescent Moon
A reticulated variegated Japanese Maple having deeply divided leaves with long narrow lobes. New pink spring leaves emerge with green veins emanating through it. The margins slowly change to a more creamy-white in summer combined with the base pink and green veins to give it a wonderful three-tone affect. While in the fall foliage changes to an orange-red, the green veins stay showy. Grows 8′ high by 5′ wide in a 10 year period.
