Acer palmatum 'Butterfly'

<< Previous Plant  |   Next Plant >>

Maple, Japanese

Distinctly upright growing and twiggy. Delicate green ribbon-like leaves with white and pink margins, often variable branch to branch. Reversions to wider leaves should be removed. Yellowish foliage in fall. Slightly less winter tolerant than other cultivars and best sited in an area protected from winter winds. Requires annual maintenance for best appearance in this climate. We recommend vigilance against vole or rodent damage to stems when snow covers the trunks in winter.
