Akita yatsubusa (Acer palmatum 'Akita yatsubusa')
Similar to Sharp’s Pygmy, this green leafed dwarf is both denser and more vigorous–both good things. The leaves come out in the spring with a touch of pink and then turn yellow and finally green for the summer. Fall color is orange, red, gold, etc. This one is a keeper.

Adrian’s Compact (Acer palmatum ‘Adrian’s Compact’)
I am sure that there are lots of differences between Shaina, Carli’s Corner, etc. and Adrian’s Compact, but they escape me. This is a very nice, dark red small leafed, dwarf palmatum; the fall color is bright scarlet and orange. Zone 5.

In the mild Willamette Valley where I live, I was charmed by the long soft pink flower tassels in the spring, but the summer was a bust as the leaves which are slightly purple and larger than species seem to be variously diseased, and as I don’t spray, I decided this was a tree for a colder clime. zone 3.

Usually A. negundo has no to poor fall color, but Sensation breaks the mold and has great color and a good rounded habit, so if I lived somewhere miserably cold where I was limited in my maple choices, this is the one I would plant. Zone 3.
