Acer palmatum Aratama
I really love this tree .. it is one of the best dwarfs but not for beginners . It hates I mean HATES wet feet and is a "Monk -like" sun-aphobic. So for those more experienced growers this is your dwarf .. super cool colorful compact and small greens out a bit in summer but spectacular spring and fall very full and can get big but more like a large dissectum big wider and bushier not tall..it is everything you want in a red dwarf JM.
