Acer pal. ‘Ueno homare’
(Revised 8 Feb 2011)
Acer palmatum ‘Ueno Homare’ has interesting spring new leaves with orange edge and gives an impression of orange leaves. Even though the intensity of the orange colour is not reliable, it is still an interesting tree that stands out among the common trees. The few we have are all more than 10 years old. The most wholesome one is about 3.5-4.0 m and is in about 60% shade. One of them is still in a 5 gallons pot for many years, and appears still reasonably contented.
