Acer pal. ‘Ukegumo’
(Revised 8 Feb 2011)
This maple is famous for its pure cream spring colour; another favourite of ours. Our tree is more than 12 years old, but it was kept in the pot until about 6 years ago. Also one of the main branches reverted to ordinary green, and had to be pruned off. It also suffered some rabbit damage after it was planted in the ground. It is now about 2 m high, and is in about 70% shade.
