A wonderful new Japanese Maple with a dense compact form. Two leaf colors are present at the same time: one, dark purple-red; two, light orange-pink. Does not show a traditional pink color, only shades of pink. This variety is a head turner with its bright multi-colored leaves in spring.

MATSUMURAE, red. This is a new selection that was found by Vern Palmateer at Ruslyn Nursery in New Platz New York. Rich red new foliage that bronzes in later summer then the second growth or red foliage is striking against the older leaves. In autumn it's a rich crimson. Showy.
