The light yellow leaves overlap like shingles on a roof, densely clothing the shoots of this desirable little dwarf. Late colours include reds and orange tones. This enchanting little maple makes a round bush to 3ft in any light.

Opinion

Quite simply breathtakingly unusual in formation and structure. Ideal subject above most others for rockery and bonsai. i would not be without this little plant. Size is unimportant....but then I have a big one!
