Strawberry Spring Japanese maple

Notes

'Strawberry Spring' Japanese maple (Acer palmatum 'Strawberry Spring') is a tree for specimen planting, containers, and fall color. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun. New leaves open yellow, apricot, and pink, then age to white flushed with pink with dark green veins. By summer the leaves turn mostly green, but new growth at the branch tips emerges pink. Fall color is orange and red.

Pairs well with Autumn fern, Western hemlock, and St. John's wort.
