MATSUMURAE, green. This green maple has leaves that are much thicker and heavier textured than most. Spring growth unfolds with a rusty-red appearance which changes to a rich, deep green. It is vigorous growing and becomes broad with age, with a spreading, shrub like habit. Very distinctive and known for its excellent fall color.
