Acer palmatum Beni shichihenge

Acer palmatum Beni shichihenge

Similar to the Butterfly but much more color especially pink in spring and summer and more orange in fall . If you like Butterfly as i do this is a must have and a more interesting tree IMHO than butterfly.. It is not as subtle so i recommend it as one the is different enough to have in addition to Butterfly...or as a stand alone. Both these trees are truly different than any other JM's. Both seem very hardy.

Pink/Orange can be found within the white in spring and summer.
