Acer palmatum Sagara nishiki
This is a really nice variegated JM . It is sturdy and hardy and won't overwhelm a space. It is similar to the Nishiki gasame which has done exceptionally well for me and is a true crowd pleaser . This tree has the distinction of a bit more vibrant yellow variegation and larger leaves. This is one to be sure to get . Not to be repetitious but give it a bit of shade.
