Acer palmatum Abigail Rose
An extremely pretty Dwarf that is thick and classy. Leaves are really of special colors and growth is vigorous. Plant will get of some size, it is not a mini, but perfect for most small spaces. Has a somewhat upright but bushy habit and is hardy. It will take some sun but keep it limited. I would put this into the category of “different” and special. This JM would also make a perfect container specimen which would allow for closer observation. This is one of my favorite dwarfs and I have found it to be a very easy tree to grow unlike what is stated elsewhere. It takes a couple years to establish but then you are have a very special tree that is gorgeous in form and color.
