Nursery contributed plant descriptions

MATSUMURAE, variegated. Beautiful, five lobed leaves with a light green base appear as if brushed with pink and white. Amount of variegation will vary from year to year and may even be absent on some branches. But add to this beauty a light golden hue that gives the leaf a warm, glowing appearance. Does best with light shade and protection from wind. Makes a small, very beautiful tree.
