Acer palmatum Green elf

Hybrid dwarf tree from shirasawanum and palmatum reaching a height of 2 meters in 10 years, emerges green in spring and displaying wonderful red or bright yellow hues in autumn. The leaves have 7 to 9 lobes widely opened up, the leaf is larger than it it is long and all the lobes separate from the leaf base, curving outwards, like a hand would hold a ball. Stalks are dark pink and a gentle subtle pink hue covers the leaves contrasting with lime green veins late summer. Some green copper shades and metallic pinks appear late autumn, and evolves into brilliant red pink hues or golden yellows.
