Acer palmatum Beni maiko

Acer palmatum Beni maiko

This cultivar has just outstanding spring color and stays nice throughout the season. It is VERY hardy and forms an upright tree of medium size . It seems like a fairly fast grower … This is a highly recommended JM for those that want a different red from the usual ones.

Amazing red on new growth in spring.
