Acer palmatum ‘Strawberry Spring’
Japanese Maple - Strawberry Spring
A stunning semi-dwarf, variegated Japanese Maple. Reticulated leaves emerge vivid pink with dark green veins in spring. As the leaves age, they transition to creamy-green and eventually solid green by summer. But a second flush during this time brings back the spring colours. In fall, foliage transitions to reds and oranges. Grows 6-8′ high by 4-6′ wide in a 10 year period.
