About this plant
Acer palmatum 'Ao shime no uchi' is a compact Japanese maple cultivar distinguished by its finely divided green leaves with delicate serration, creating an elegant, airy appearance throughout the growing season.

This tree has a dense, upright habit and makes an excellent choice for small spaces, container planting, or as an accent piece in Asian-inspired gardens. Its manageable size and refined beauty make it a favorite among home gardeners and landscape professionals alike.
