Foliage is palmate, light green, and pointed. Though a 15' tree at maturity, it bonsais well, maintaining its rough bark when dwarfed. New grafts don't show this bark for 3-5 years. Acer palmatum Wou Nishiki. Unusual leaf shape, with long, narrow, widely separated, serrated lobes.
Color is green with red edges in spring, bright green in summer, and bright crimson in fall.
To 10', upright growing, with many small branches and twigs. Acer palmatum Mama. The distinction of this green-leafed cultivar is said to be that no two leaves are alike, the Japanese meaning, possibly, 'as one likes'. I regard this as a difficult proposition to prove, and I wonder if there are two leaves on any cultivar exactly alike. Anyway, the leaves mainly have long, narrow, widely separated, serrate lobes.
