An unlikely hybrid of Acer griseum and Acer pseudoplatanus, 'Purple Haze' has the leaves of A. griseum but larger with veining more impressed. They turn brilliant, saturated, glowing orange in fall! The A. pseudoplatanus contributes a purple underside to the leaf and noticeable clusters of pink samaras make for yet another significant attraction. Deciduous, vase-shaped, 15'T x 7'W in 10 years.
