Acer palmatum 'Beni tsukasa' Japanese Maple Tree. The color tones of this wonderful cultivar are a real eye catcher. First appear bright orange-red or peach tone. As summer progresses they change to pink and red with greenish undertones. This variety makes a great container tree.

A slow growing (to 10') shrub, its charm lies in the leaf color which this photo captures well. Later in the summer, the leaves become more green, but they are always attractive. zone 6

PALMATUM, red. What a lovely little cultivar for containers and small landscapes! The color variations are remarkable, ranging from yellow-red or peach to pink with green tones. Better yet, in summer, the foliage darkens and leaves take on some variegation. A slender, densely branched, willowy, small tree.
