ACER PALMATUM (JAPANESE MAPLES)
GREEN UPRIGHT MAPLE: Like the reds the green uprights make for a good centerpiece of focus plants in any size yard. For larger yards a mix of greens and reds together make for year round appeal. Among the greens each has its own season to shine. Some have brilliant spring colors of orange and pinks (Katsura, Shin deshojo), others have brilliant fall colors or bright orange-reds to purple (Osakazuki, Seiru, Acontifolium), and others show colorful bark in the winter (Sango kaku, Beni kawa). For color and leaf variation the greens have it.
