Shidava Gold (Acer palmatum 'Shidava Gold' )

Shidava Gold (great name, n’est pas) is supposedly a dwarf form of Aoyagi (broom from?). Personally I find Aoyagi pretty unprepossessing. However I went to a J. Maple talk which consisted mostly of slides of this cultivar and I was blown away. The leaves are light green; the branches are green.
