Acer palmatum 'Higasayama' Variegated Japanese Maple
from $39.00
In spring, Acer palmatum 'Higasa yama' may be one of the most exciting and colorful trees you will ever see, there is nothing else quite like it. Unfortunately this intense color is short lived.

And when it gets really hot in our southeastern summers it will go totally green. In late summer 'Higasa yama' will send out long runners of new growth with solid green leaves much larger and differently shaped than the typical leaves. These limbs will usually put out typical leaves the next spring if not they should be removed. Fall color can be quite dramatic with reds oranges and yellows.10 year size: Height: 10-12 Feet Width: 6-8 FeetSpring Color: Pink, White, GreenSummer Color: Green and WhiteFall Color: OrangeSun Tolerance: PartialPlanting: Elevated, Well Drained Soil
