Acer palmatum 'Shidava Gold'
Japanese Maple
Discovered as a witches' broom mutation on Acer palmatum 'Ukon' (also known as Acer palmatum 'Aoyagi'). A beautiful dwarf Japanese maple all year-round. New leaves emerge light-green in spring, turn yellow-green during summer, and change to a golden-yellow in autumn. During winter, the beautiful green bark on young stems lightens up otherwise dull areas. Prefers moist, well-drained soils. May suffer leaf scorch from excess sun, wind, and drought. Cold hardy and great for bonsai.
