Acer ‘Kinugasa Yama’ Japanese Maple

Acer sieboldianum

Kinugasa Yama is a slow-growing deciduous Japanese maple known for its large, rounded leaves in a fresh lime-green hue. It is especially admired for its striking autumn display, when the foliage transforms into shades of yellow, vivid orange, and red. This hardy, cold-tolerant tree grows best in moist, well-drained soil and prefers a position with dappled shade. It has an upright habit and smooth bark, and in spring, its new leaves often emerge covered in fine, soft hairs—typical of the sieboldianum species.
