Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Irregular 5-7 lobed leaves, sometimes sickle-shaped, are variegated with white overlaid and blended with deep-rose, the rose intensifying in fall; a sturdy small tree (to 6-12') which can take sun and responds well to shaping. S-PSh/M

This is a variegate much like Butterfly except is it not so twiggy--about the same size though, 10'. Zone 5.

PALMATUM, variegated. Narrowly growing, the leaves are bluish-green with ivory accents, which in the spring are blended with rose. The leaves are deeply lobed, cut almost all the way to the petiole, and each one different from the others. A special treat for variegation lovers, this one can take full sun! Really rare and a lot of fun.
