DWARF, variegated. In English this name means "star-studded sky" and refers to the numerous small star shaped leaves on this dense maple. Leaves are generally flat and variegation is pale green over medium green and variable in its covering of the foliage, young leaves will be lightly pink at the edges. Tidily shaped by nature, and slightly twiggy this maple is great for container growing or any small, wanting corner in the garden.
