Plant at 3 years with me
Acer palmatum
'Shigitatsu Sawa'
'Snipe, quacking, fly up from the swamp'
Zone 6
(Europe 7)
The leaf has a network of prominently coloured green veins with light yellow/green interspaces, very noticeable in spring or early summer
In autumn the colouration changes to a red, or rich red/green, quite different from other cultivars
Can grow to about 4 meters
These pictures show the different colours of this plant at varying times of the year
REMEMBER that all Japanese Maples prefer a slightly acid well drained soil with a constant moisture content.
