Akikaze nishiki
‘Akikaze nishiki’ is a rare Asian maple appreciated for its very finely cut foliage and its extremely variable cream variegation. In spring, the young leaves can show very decorative pink tones, then the tree develops a dark green, variegated canopy as the season progresses. In autumn, it offers warm shades (orange to red, sometimes with more purplish nuances depending on conditions). It is also a cultivar known for being heat-tolerant for a variegated maple.
