If you like the fresh green of a mountain meadow, this cultivar is for you. The leaves are typical palmatum type and are luscious green. The real bonus is the green stems of 'Aoyagi' are as green as the foliage. Plant this with red stemmed 'Sango Kaku,' and you will have a sight to behold. In the winter, when all else is dreary, the show of the red and green is outstanding.
