Iijima Sunago Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum 'Iijima Sunago'
Acer palmatum 'Iijima Sunago' is a small, slow-growing cultivar of Japanese maple with a delicate and graceful appearance. It typically reaches a height of around 4-6 feet with a similar spread, forming a mound of slender, twiggish branches. The leaves are small and deeply cut, with a bright yellow-green color in spring that gradually deepens to a rich green in summer before turning to bright yellow-orange in autumn. This cultivar prefers partial shade and well-drained, acidic soil, and is hardy in USDA zones 5-9. It is ideal for small gardens, rockeries, and containers, and can also be used as a bonsai specimen. Its unusual, delicate appearance and beautiful autumn color make it a popular choice for Japanese-style gardens and other ornamental landscapes.
