Acer palmatum ‘Asahi zuru’
Japanese Maple - Dawn Swan
A very unique Japanese Maple with regards to its leaves as they can vary considerably. Small to large green leaves, which often emerge green, can later develop variegated splashs of pink and white. Sometimes a leaf can be almost solid green, other times it can be almost entirely pink or even tri-colour. Fall colour is reddish-yellow. Grows 8′ high by 4′ wide in a 10 year period.
