Acer palmatum Mikazuki

‘Mikazuki’, which means “crescent moon”, is another appealing cultivar from Talon Buchholz of Oregon.  Each lobe is undulated and rolled down, giving a narrow and longer appearance of a crescent moon.  In spring, leaves are red with deep purple veining.  By summer, leaves will turn creamy with green veining.  Fall colors are orange and red.  This upright maple with a bushy habit can reach 8 feet in ten years.
