This is one of the most beautiful small trees for the ornamental landscape. It is perfectly suited as a specimen tree, an accent in a mixed border, or in a container on the patio. It anchors the Japanese style garden. Many of the cultivars remain quite small and are especially useful in small gardens, even rock gardens, and for bonsai. The brilliant autumn foliage lights up the garden, and the slender twigs and contorted branches provide winter interest. A small to medium sized variegated maple; it is the red-tinged form of Shigitatsu Sawa. As the bud first opens the inner bud scales and new leaves are maroon. When fully opened the typical color of the leaves is variegated yellow with pink to red highlights. The leaves are reticulated, however, the veins are not prominently displayed in the new growth. The striking feature of this cultivar is the ever changing colors from spring through summer to autumn.  Each tree seems to have its own particular variegation depending upon the amount and type of sunlight. Summer heat creates a dark maroon color for the new growth with existing leaves turning to various shades of green. Trees that are grown in more shade will display new growth with lavender highlights. Recommended sun exposure is in the morning with some shade protection in the hot afternoon sun. Estimated height in 10 years is 8' with a width of the same size. A true kaleidoscope of color for maple lovers. Prefers morning sun and afternoon shade. Click the image to read more!

Acer palmatum 'Ukigumo' is perhaps the most extreme of the variegated Japanese maples. The leaves are sometimes nearly all-white, with merest flecks of green. Sometimes the leaves have much more green with extravagant white markings with (especially in early spring) pink tips & highlights. An extremely young sapling is usually greenleafed without much variegation, but soon after its third year it will become variegated with a vengeance. The ten year height of this small tree can be usually a few feet, though it might in the very long run reach fifteen feet. It can be multi-trunked & rather wide-limbed, hence more of a shrub than a tree, although this depends greatly on how it is trained, since a young developing specimen can be trained with as many or as few trunks as the gardener decides.
