Butterfly Japanese Maple

Butterfly Japanese Maple : " Acer palmatum ‘Butterfly’: The Butterfly Japanese Maple is a stunningly different kind of tree, with exquisite white margins on the leaves and a constantly changing spectacle of colors – pink, white, grey-green, scarlet and magenta – through the seasons. It grows into a perfect small tree 6 to 12 feet tall and it is hardy from zone 5 to zone 9. In cooler areas it will do well in sun, and in warmer places give it more shade, especially in the afternoon. Japanese maples are not hard to grow with just a little basic care, and they reward us many times over, with a grace and charm that no other tree has. This is the perfect small tree for a tiny garden and it can even be grown in a container – perhaps a beautiful oriental pot – for many years and enjoyed, even if you only have a terrace or patio.
