Geisha Gone Wild – Acer Palmatum

Geisha Gone

Geisha Gone Wild is a strong, unique, upright, and vigorous maple with branches that rise at a sharp angle from the trunk, keeping it slender, and therefore making it a great choice for a narrower spot in your garden. Lobed leaves are twisted and curled. Bringing vibrant color into the landscape the new spring foliage is brilliant pink and purple. Mature leaves show irregular green and white variegation, splashed with pink, and in fall they turn powerful shades of orange and purple. Wonderful option grown as a specimen in a smaller garden, used to liven up beds of evergreens, or planted in a container on the terrace, patio, or balcony.
