Acer palmatum ' Matsugae'

We find 'Matsugae' to be a very dependable variegated culyivar in the southeast. In spring it opens with cream and rose markings along its irregular shaped medium green leaves. In summer the rose color fades away and the cream turns pure white leaving beauitifully contrasting variegation all summer long. Red petioles also add to the overall apearance of 'Matsugae'. This is a very old cultivar with a name that means 'the pine branch' which is hard to understand for a variegated cultivar. This plant is similar to 'Kagiri Nishiki' but is faster growing and has better variegation. Fall color is usually orange.

Height: 12-15 feet Width: 10-12 Feet
