Wakehurst Pink a bright, pink upright maple that was introduced by Esveld Nursery in the Netherlands. It gets its name from Wakehurst Place - a beautiful garden in England.
A medium growing, upright Japanese Maple. The large greenish leaves are lightly pink-flushed in early spring, becoming green in summer. The bark on new branches is red, which contrast very nice with the leaves. Fall color is really amazing as the leaves turn bright red with yellow tips.
