This Japanese maple is a small, deciduous tree with an upright, airy growth habit, ideal for compact gardens or as a specimen plant. Hardy in zones 5-8, it thrives in moderate temperatures, preferring partial shade and well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Its foliage features stunning variegation, with white, green, and pink tones that change subtly through the seasons. Fall color is a vibrant mix of yellow and light oranges, adding late-season interest. Reaching a mature height of 6-8 feet, this plant has a delicate, multi-branched form and offers moderate deer resistance. It does not produce ornamental fruit but is prized for its elegant, cloud-like appearance.
