Acer palmatum Kurenai jishi
This is NOT to be confused with Kurui Jishi it is totally different in every way!! This is a recent Japanese introduction as far as centuries. It was produced in 1980.it is the most impressive dwarf I have seen lately. It has rolling short leaves like the Fireball, Royale etc but is not a witches broom . Although the leaves are short and in bunches just off branches and up and down them. The leaves themselves are pointed and fairly thin compared to the above mentioned. Has flashes of gorgeous color on new growth in spring and late summer outstanding newly offered dwarf . This IS a really winner to me
