Acer palmatum 'Okushimo'

    Listed as early as 1719 in Japan this old cultivar with a name that means pepper and salt,  definitely has a place in the modern landscape. The distinctive green curled leaves of 'Okushimo' give it an ability to contrast just right with other plants in the garden and the fact that it is so decidedly vase shaped with most of its width above head height means that it can be tucked into corners and between paths or next to sidewalks. We do recomend that you plant 'Okushimo' in partial shade in hotter climates. Fall color is usually a nice yellow.

                 Height: 12-15 feet   Width 5-8 feet
