Asahi zuru

Asahi Zuru translates to “dawn swan” in Japanese, perhaps due to its feathery white and pink variegation which is most prominent in springtime. The back of this specimen tends to have pink striations through out, especially on newer bark. Fast growing when young, this nice maple will eventually produce a spreading plant with the variegation becoming more intense with age. A desirable plant for landscapes, this tree can reach up to 18 feet tall, and 10 feet wide at maximum. Sun/ part shade is best to prevent leaf burn.
