Acer palmatum ‘Osakazuki
Japanese Maple - Leaf like a Saki Cup
A Japanese Maple with outstanding fall colour! Medium to large leaves emerge yellowish-green in the spring quickly turning a rich green in both spring and summer. In addition, red maple keys can be occasionally seen making a great contrast to the foliage. During fall, the maple lights up! Colours like a burning-bush include fiery-reds to bright scarlets and crimson. A knock-out! Grows 10′ high by 7′ wide in a 10 year period.
