Acer palmatum Beni kosode
A new very small leaf bright red cultivar very very cool looks like a good bonsai tree .. it will take a little care like any smaller leafed lightly branched cultivar.but should do fine for more experience growers.. This one is very popular amongst enthusiasts and I can see why... it is very different and very cool... I have had some trouble with this cultivar so buyer beware ..It is not aggressive and in smaller trees you don't have much branching so if you get hit with a very hot summer you are in trouble .. probably best kept in container and only bought as a larger tree . unfortunately larger specimens do not exist .
