Acer palmatum 'Japanese Sunrise' - A marbled trunk Japanese Maple. Imagine a 'Sango Kaku' that has red bark in winter, that suddenly had yellow on one side and red on the other. With orange shades appearing. Fall color is crimson and yellow.

PALMATUM, green. This plant's similarities to 'Sango Kaku' begin with bright yellow on one side of the stem, ending in a blaze of red on the other, much like a 'Japanese Sunrise'. This is a medium sized tree with short twiggy growth. In the fall the spectacular gold leaves are a special treat. This tree grows 6-12" a year.
