About this plant
Acer palmatum 'Kurabu yama' is a captivating Japanese maple known for its deeply divided, lace-like leaves that emerge bright green in spring and transition to vibrant shades of orange-yellow and golden in autumn. This cultivar offers a delicate and refined texture, making it ideal as a focal point in gardens or landscape designs. Its compact nature works beautifully in small spaces, containers, or alongside ponds and pathways. Slow-growing but rewarding, it pairs well with plants of contrasting foliage colors and textures.
