Dissectum.

A bat-wing maple. Like us, you've probably wanted one of these since you saw the awesome photos in Vertrees! An awesome variety with variegated bat-wing curled leaves. Incredibly difficult to propagate, therefore seldom seen.
|
True to its name that means "elegant," this great new variety of Full Moon maple has burgundy leaves with yellow-green lobe mid-veins that produce a crisp contrast. Think Granny Smith veins with Red Delicious lobes! Beautiful chartreuse and magenta seeds add to the tree's appeal. Absolutely wonderful!

The foliage of this low, slow-growing Full Moon maple looks fantastic throughout the season. Bright pink-red spring leaves become orange-red with green highlights in early summer and bright red and orange in fall. Chartreuse leaf bases and light petioles add to the appeal. In Japanese, the name 'Kawaii' means "cute," not to be confused with the Hawaiin island Kauai. Dissectum.
