Acer palmatum Shin deshojo
This is one of the prettier mid size JMs. It's spring color of bright pink is quite unusual . Add to that a Kaleidoscope of summer color with phenomenal bright fall red and you get a very, very nice cultivar . This cultivar seems both hardy and can take some sun . It seems to be a bit more upright and taller than the similar Shishio Improved ( Chishio Improved) It's a winner. Zone 6 tree.
