Acer palmatum ‘Kandy Kitchen’

Japanese Maple - Kandy Kitchen

A lovely compact, semi-dwarf Japanese Maple. Narrowly lobed leaves emerge a bright pink in spring and mature to a purple-red by summer. A second foliage flush of pink in summer makes a stunning contrast. Leaves eventually fade to a bronzy-green by later summer before changing to a wonderful scarlet red fall colour. Grows 4-6′ high and wide in a 10 year period.
