Spectacularly pink in spring, the 5-lobed leaves of this somewhat fragile 8-12' upright maple are green flecked with pink in summer and scarlet in fall; perfect for container or protected border. PSh/M

PALMATUM, variegated. Spectacular pink new growth emerges in spring. Mature leaves enjoy a variety of variegation: some leaves are almost white with streakings of pink or pink and green; others are pink to brick red with some white and green spotting; and then there will be many mostly green leaves with lighter green markings or darker green veins. The color will vary somewhat depending on exposure to sun or shade, but it is always very beautiful. In the fall all of the lighter variegations turn a deep rose, especially beautiful when mixed with still green leaves.
