Japanese Maple

Perhaps the most extreme of the variegated Japanese maples. Delicately serrated leaves emerge nearly white with a pink blush in spring. By summer the foliage is green with white markings. Makes a magnificent specimen or a perfect small landscape tree for entrances or patios. Attractive fall color extends the season.
