Acer palmatum Alpenweiss
This is a very nice JM ... similar in some ways to the Higasayama but more vibrant coloration .. It is a sturdy hardy perfect smaller upright 6' tree that will always please anyone passing it. A lot of folks like this one and so do I but still think Higasayama is superior as far as coloration throughout the season .. Check photos I have for both and you will see the difference pretty dramatic
