A well known Japanese Maple cultivar with unusual coral pink young stems that create a striking effect, especially in winter. This feature and the superb yellow to apricot autumn foliage make it an elegant tree ideal for protected areas of gardens and parks. Height: 6 metres. Width: 5 metres. Growth rate: Slow to moderate. Habit: 'Vase' shaped, multi-stemmed small tree. Foliage: Light green, five lobed, flat leaves with red petioles. Adaptable to a range of soil types once established, but prefers a moist, well drained soil.
