Acer palmatum ‘Shidava Gold’ Japanese Maple

Description

This dwarf Japanese maple, discovered as a witches broom on Aoyagi, offers dramatic four-season interest with flashy foliage and striking bark. New spring leaves emerge yellow-green, turn bright green during summer and golden yellow for fall. In winter, the compact tree’s intensely green bark brightens otherwise gray days. Great for container or front of border, it rarely reaches six feet.
