Acer palmatum (Japanese Maple)
Color Name: Metamorphosa™
A shrubby Japanese maple noted for the neat texture and ever-changing color of its foliage. In spring, the dissected foliage emerges yellow; a pink margin soon develops, then that shifts to white with shades of reddish-orange in summer. In autumn, the entire leaf transforms to orange-red and eventually red-violet. Metamorphosa lives up to its name transforming from one dynamic color to another.
Growing Tips: Japanese maples are relatively adaptable in terms of growing conditions. In cold or exposed sites, they should be sited where they get some protection from the harshest winter weather.
Soil: Any well-drained soil will do.
Pruning: Little needed. May be selectively pruned to shape as needed, but avoid regular trimming or pruning.
Uses: Specimen, containers, flower gardens
