Notes:
Acer palmatum 'Akane', also known as Akane Japanese Maple, is a rare ornamental shrub native to Japan. Its vivid seasonal transitions set it apart—deep crimson new leaves in early spring shift to a mix of red and orange, then to bright yellow-green in summer, and finally to soft scarlet in fall. This variety is slow-growing with thinner foliage and should be protected from strong summer sunlight. Widely admired since the Edo period, it brings timeless beauty to modern gardens, patios, or balconies. A must-have for collectors and maple enthusiasts seeking colorful foliage trees with elegant form.
