Opening an intense red in spring, the deeply cut leaves of this lovely 10-15 footer gradually turn back to pink and red. PSh/M

As a member of the Corallinum group, this palmatum is most stunning in the spring when the leaves come out the color of fire. They stay multicolored as they appear in this photo becoming darker as the summer progresses. The plant is shrubby rather than tree like. zone 5

MATSUMURAE, red. First listed and available to the public through our nursery; this is a must for your garden. If intense red is what you seek, this magnificent tree will fit the bill! It has deeply cut leaves which give the tree an unusual and wonderfully lacy look.
