Acer palmatum Hanami nishiki
A favorite of mine. Highly recommended. It takes sun well; has a quilt of color as its Japanese name portends . This tree has one of the smallest leaves of any JM each one sharply pointed ... super cool. Makes a great stand alone smaller specimen tree with a true Japanese shape.
