With never-ending changing color that is so fun to watch, every day the leaves of the Iijima Sunago Japanese Maple can be a different unusual color. The amount of sun exposure, temperatures and perhaps soil conditions from month-to-month or season-to-season can definitely make this tree an amazing chameleon, which even has whims about how it will present itself from year to year. Its kaleidoscope of possible colors and forms make it very difficult to describe. One thing for sure, in our gardens the fall color is one of the best, beginning intense ginkgo-yellow transitioning to a glowing, vivid orange. In spring, the leaves of our tree growing in part shade usually emerge a deep wine-red quickly transitioning to a purple with green veins. Others say that in more sun the spring leaves will be orange-red shades. The summer leaves on our tree are usually shades of maroon to chocolate brown, though others say theirs develops more orange in full sun. Though we prefer growing Japanese Maples where they'll receive some filtered sun or shade in the afternoon, Iijima Sunago tolerates full sun well, even in the rain without scorching the leaves. A stand out in the garden and a delight to look at close up, if you want something a little different in the maple world, Iijima Sunago is one of those "must have" selections with so much character and so many amazing colors you never know what you're going to get. Whichever colors it decides to present it will be the highlight of your woodland or sunny garden! Get all the details below
