Acer palmatum 'Okagami' In spring the leaves emerge a deep burgundy red and almost reach black if grown in good light. By late summer the leaves assume a green-yellow colour before turning a fiery red in the autumn. Not quite as tall growing as some other cultivars, so very suitable for container cultivation. |
