Acer palmatum 'Manyo no sato' (Japanese Maple)

The Manyo No Sato Japanese Maple stands out with its uniquely shaped and vividly coloured leaves. This upright yet broad tree reaches 6 to 8 feet tall and spreads 4 to 6 feet wide over a decade. Its deeply lobed, variegated leaves appear in dark purple to purple-red hues edged with lime green during spring, shifting to mauve-red with green accents in summer under partial shade, or greener in full sun. It thrives best with filtered light or afternoon shade in hot climates. In fall, the foliage transforms into vibrant reds and oranges. This maple’s heat tolerance and distinctive colours make it a striking focal point in any garden.
