This compact variety has a fairly tight habit with leaves predominantly variegated with pink and white. Its compact habit and stunning variegation make it a really distinct cultivar.

A small tree with beautiful year round color! Leaves emerge green in spring with cream and pink stripes turning to mostly green with white for summer. Fall is outstanding and nearly unbelievable! The leaves show the full range of fall colors. Orange, red, yellow, burgundy. One of the best variegated maples.
