Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A wonderfully elegant, 5-15' upright maple! Small leaves emerge creamy-white and bright-green with a delicate pink blush and bright-pink stems. The foliage maintains its lovely green and white variegation all summer. In autumn it puts on pretty tones of orange and red. This is a wonderfully unique maple that deserves to be a focal point in the landscape! S-PSh/M

One of the best white and green variegated forms available. It strikes me as a "clean" looking bi-color and what initially attracted me to it. Spring leaves also have pink overtones near the tips of the palmate leaves. Fall colors are red, yellow and orange.
