Rainbow Japanese Maple

The Rainbow Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum 'Rainbow') is a breathtaking deciduous tree prized for its vibrant and multi-colored foliage. Characterized by its upright growth habit, this Japanese Maple showcases deeply lobed leaves that emerge in spring with a striking blend of green, pink, and white variegation, creating a captivating rainbow effect. As the seasons progress, the foliage transitions to a rich green with white and pink highlights in summer, followed by a brilliant display of golden-yellow, orange, and red hues in the fall, providing year-round visual interest and color. Typically reaching a height of 6 to 8 feet with a similar spread, it is well-suited for gardens, patios, or as a focal point in landscape beds. The Rainbow Japanese Maple is relatively low-maintenance and prefers well-draining, acidic soil and partial shade to protect its delicate variegated foliage from scorching. With its stunning seasonal color transformations, vibrant variegation, and elegant form, it is an excellent choice for gardeners and homeowners looking to introduce a splash of vibrant color and natural beauty to their outdoor environments.
