A very attractive tree with four-season interest, the spring foliage is handsomely speckled with cream and overlaid with flamingo pink, summer leaves are a mottled green and white that does not burn in full sun, red fall leaves drop to show the pretty red branches to be enjoyed all winter; this unusual maple reaching 30- 40' will be enjoyed all year long.

We are pleased to offer this slower growing cultivar that commands center stage when the speckled shrimp-pink new leaves emerge. Then the leaves become a marbled white and green in summer. It will form a nearly impenetrable rounded tree growing to perhaps as high as 40' if ecstatic about its location. In winter the extremely dense twig growth is a beautiful wine-red so there is no uninteresting season for this one. Minimum temperature: -30°F

A small growing red maple with very splashed variegation all summer. The deep green leaves have pretty pink and cream splashed over them . Jackson Pollock would be proud.
