Matsukaze (Acer palmatum 'Matsukaze')

A small upright tree with dissected reddish bronze leaves with noticeable green veining. Red fall color. Interesting.

Matsugae (Acer palmatum 'Matsugae' )

This is a variegate much like Butterfly except is it not so twiggy–about the same size though, 10′. Zone 5.

Mama (Acer palmatum 'Mama')

A small spreading tree with deeply dissected 5 lobed leaves that go every whichaway

Lionheart (Acer palmatum 'Lion Heart' )

Lionheart is supposed to be the red leafed equivalent to Seiryu, the green upright dissectum, but I have not seen that; although it certainly has a red dissected leaf, it hasn’t nearly the vigor of Seiryu and altho it is not actually pendulous, it is more spreading than upright. But look at this photo taken today 11/30/11. really nice late color

Lima Gold (Acer palmatum 'Lima Gold' )

Lima Gold is a dwarf similar in form to Mikawa yatsubusa. The spring gold surrounded by the red seed starts is stunning.

Kurui jishi (Acer palmatum 'Kurui jishi' )

This cultivar has strongly incurved leaves and supposedly a vase shaped habit; but mine have a sort of drooping wide shape. The leaves are darker green than Okushimo which has a similar leaf form. zone 5.

Kurabu yama (Acer palmatum 'Kurabu yama' )

Kurabu yama is one of the lesser known palmatums; it is definitely a tree to maybe 15′; the leaves are deeply divided and come out a strange auburn color in spring changing to green and finally in fall to a wonderful show of orange, gold and scarlet.

Krazy Krinkle (Acer palmatum 'Krazy Krinkle' )

Krazy Krinkle is an apt if undignified name for this maple. The leaves are bright green and ruffled much like Shishigashira, only larger; the tree is vigorous and upright. Zone 6. This photo from Michael Healy doesn’t quite get enough of the skrunchiness of the leaves, in my opinion.

Koto no ito (Acer palmatum 'Koto no ito' )

One of the smallest and most threadleaf of the threadleaves. Summer color is light green; fall color is orange. zone 6

Koshibori nishiki (Acer palmatum 'Koshibori nishiki' )

This is considered a variegated maple but sometimes it is really hard to see as it is more a dusting of white or yellow. It will get maybe 6′ in ten years.
