my mother had the mother tree and the propagation continues from this line

one of the first we planted

The defining trait here is large dissected leaves with a broad texture

I recommend a drench of 1 teaspoon per gallon to saturate the roots in the spring when the leaves begin to emerge and again in the fall before fall color begins

Acer palmatum 'Shigitatsu sawa' Japanese Maple Red my mother had the motherOne of the first cultivars with variegation following the vein of the leaf. Very pale green in spring changing to a medium green in summer with a less defined vein. Fall color is golden yellow with a contrasting vein. Bark is pale green with white striations. Structure is open and layered, as wide as tall. Slow growing,though not difficult, must have protection from intense sun. Attributes Leaf Shape Palmate Growth Habit Small Shrub Landscape Height 8
