Acer palmatum Kagiri Nishiki
Another vary cool variegated JM. A smaller wide tree with nice form . Some say this is the same as Shojo no mai some say Roseo-Marginatum which as I see it neither of these is the same. Leaves are nicely accented with color many with sickle shaped. Unlike the Butterfly this tree is not as twiggy and forms a more open rounded tree. It is a nice full tree with reliable variegation and cool leaves each a little different but highly variegated .. I like this one better than Butterfly but I like more open trees ... if you want a more compact upright then go Butterfly.
