Acer palmatum Beni Sazanami

Beni Sazanami gets it's name from both the vibrant red color of the leaves and the wave-like texture of the leaf edges.

Througouth spring the colors will turn to a softer red with a bright green vein. In fall it changes back to a brilliant red color.

This tree really surprised me this year. Each time I walked through our nursery, I stoped to have a look at this beauty. It really held its colors well throughout the year. A must have for the collertors among us!
