Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Elegant and uniform, the leaves of this upright, spreading Japanese maple, emerge bright burgundy with yellow veins in spring and darken to purple-red in late spring. Bright chartreuse and pink samaras (seeds) and green bark contrast against the rich foliage, which turns orange and red in fall.

AMOENUM, red. A delightful, semi-dense bushy tree with pleasant soft toned brick-red foliage with pronounced green veins. In sun the plants have more bright red coloration, while in shade they develop more purple color with green undertones. The leaves are small 2 inch, seven lobed, and quite sharp-pointed.
