About this plant

Acer palmatum 'Katsura', a distinctive Japanese maple cultivar, is prized for its vibrant foliage and compact form. Emerging with brilliant orange to yellow leaves edged in red during spring, the foliage transitions to soft yellow-green in summer before showcasing a stunning array of gold and orange tones in autumn. Ideal for small gardens, containers, or adding a pop of color to shaded areas, ‘Katsura’ is a highlight of any landscape with its graceful branching and captivating seasonal display. Its refined growth habit makes it suitable for creating delicate focal points in both urban and formal garden settings.
