Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Named for the way its lime-green to golden-orange sharply pointed new leaves look like the rays of a sun in a child's drawing. This lovely, slow-growing upright tree reaches 8' and is wonderful garden brightener! Light-green summer foliage turns pretty shades of orange and gold in the autumn.

A lovely upright Japanee Maple. The leaves are bright yellow/green in spring turning green for summer. Fall is an amazing display of yellow and orange. Named Mr. Sun because the pointed leaves resemble a childs drawing of the sun. Indroduced by Buchholz Nursery.
