Acer Palmatum ‘Katsura’

When they first appear in spring, the lobed leaves are a bright orange, but they quickly turn to an orange-flushed yellow with a pink margin. As the spring progresses the colour deepens to a rich green, but then in autumn the whole leaf changes colour again, taking on a bright orange hue before they drop. ‘Katsura’ is a magnificent small tree or large shrub for a smaller garden where you want colour and interest for the better part of the year.
