Nursery contributed plant descriptions

PALMATUM, variegated. A very nice variegated maple, this one has new foliage in the spring that is often covered with pink-red or light orange-red that soon matures into variegated greens. The coloration is very soft and quite different from other variegated cultivars. The leaves range from 2-3" in size. This is a small bushy tree that will not spread very much. It is well worth its place in any landscape.
