Matsugae
This is one of my favorite variegtes .. it is upright and a bit less twggy and more open than the similar Butterfly and has a bit more color than the similar Kagiri nishiki. it is also an older " Japanese variegate. Leaves tend to be of differnt shapesand sizes making it not as orderly as some of the aforementioned similar trees It's leaves and structure give a distinctive look . It also takes sun really well for a variegated tree . It's an all around keeper!!
