Acer palmatum ‘Shin hikasa’
Japanese Maple - New Sun
What a spectacular dwarf variegated Japanese Maple! Like a miniature ‘Higasayama’ with clustered layered tiny foliage. Bright pink foliage emerges in the spring with green veins showing through. These colours fade to a more whitish tone and eventually green with a pink margins (sometimes) by summer. Red and orange fall colours are to be expected. Grows 3′ high by 2′ wide in a 10 year period.
