Acer palmatum Yubae
A very hardy red JM that keeps it's color well throughout the summer This JM is a fairly fast grower and very sturdy . A real winner for this part of the country . It has become a favorite of mine for both it’s distinctive form and color that it holds especially well even into hot weather. Although Vertrees saw variegation in it, no one else has …So if ya do see variegation in the Yubae let me know and what you were “on “ at the time . But it really doesn’t need it, it is simply a truly beautiful JM in it’s own right. One of the best upright reds I have found .
