One of the newly requested variegated dissectums, this green and purple leaf is less fru fru than Hana matoi, but on the other hand, it is waaay more stable. It’s a slow grower so it will be a while before we have anything more than 1 gallons. Using Talons pic with permission.

Villa taranto (Acer palmatum ‘Villa taranto’ )
Villa taranto (Acer palmatum ‘Villa taranto’ )
Villa Taranto is a compact linearlobum that one lady tried to tell me was variegated; I knew it wasn’t but what she meant was that it changed color every day: red orange in spring, yellow orange green in the summer and orange again in the fall. It has always been one of my favorites.

Aratama (Acer palmatum ‘Aratama’)
Acer palmatum ‘Aratama’
Aratama is one of the brightest and most colorful red dwarfs (5′ in 10 years) because somehow it appears multi-colored a good portion of the year, so it sort of shakes up the eye. As luck would have it, the only picture I took is when it was uniform bright red when the best color is in the fall when it is all over the map. maybe next year.

Shirazz (Acer palmatum ‘Shirazz’)
Shirazz (Acer palmatum 'Shirazz')
To the naked eye, this is the same plant as ‘Geisha Gone Wild’; a marvelous semi-dissectum on account of its vigor and color.

Shindeshojo (Acer palmatum ‘Shinde shojo’ )
Shindeshojo (Acer palmatum 'Shinde shojo' )
One of the Corallinum group, I don’t think I could tell it from Shishio Improved or some of the others, but this picture from Michael Healy certainly captures the spring color. Zone 5.

Shigitatsusawa (Acer palmatum ‘Shigitatsusawa’)
Shigitatsusawa (Acer palmatum 'Shigitatsusawa')
This is the quintessential reticulated leaf in my book: regular, ovate, and green. However this is a sloooow grower. Good red fall color

Shigarami (Acer palmatum ‘Shigarami’)
Shigarami (Acer palmatum 'Shigarami')
In the spring this tree’s small palmate leaves are a bright green rimmed in purple, much like Tsumagaki, but the striking coloration doesn’t last long. The nice thing about the tree is that it is a graceful upright to 10′ which can grow in full sun, whereas Tsumagaki melts in the sun.

Shaina (Acer palmatum ‘Shaina’ )
Shaina (Acer palmatum 'Shaina' )
This is the smallest growing of the groups of palmatums which are coral red in the spring and on the new growth later in the year. Also in the group are Shishio improved, Shindeshojo, Beni maiko. A mature specimen will probably be under 5′. zone 6

Saoshika (Acer palmatum ‘Saoshika’ )
Saoshika (Acer palmatum 'Saoshika' )
Saoshika has a green leaf much like that of Osakazuki, reddish in the spring, soon changing to green. The fall color is supposed to be pure gold, but mine this fall were the most stunning orange red I have ever seen. The tree which is not tall (12′) has a layered look. It is available in all sizes. The photo from Winch shows beautifully the broad ovate lobed leaves (my favorite shape) and the almost translucent yellow green spring color.

Sango kaku (Acer palmatum ‘Sango kaku’ )
Sango kaku (Acer palmatum 'Sango kaku' )
I have three coral-bark cultivars that I can’t really tell apart: Sango kaku, Beni kawa, Red wood. Each has the startling red bark you see in the photo in the winter WHILE THE TREE IS YOUNG. Once the tree matures, the only coral bark is on the new growth which can be mighty little. However the yellow green foliage in the summer and the pink/orange in the fall and the general gracefulness of the tree (25′ sometimes) is not to be sneezed at. However, do not plant this cultivar in a landscape where it gets watered at night. That is actually a pretty good rule of thumb for any Japanese Maple. zone5
