Kamagata Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum 'Kamagata'
Acer palmatum 'Kamagata' is a small, slow-growing cultivar of Japanese maple known for its attractive, rounded growth habit and striking colors. Its leaves are deeply lobed and have a serrated edge, with a bright green color in the spring and summer that turns to shades of gold, orange, and red in the fall. This cultivar typically grows to a height of around 5-6 feet with a similar spread, making it an excellent choice for small gardens, rock gardens, or as a specimen tree in a container. 'Kamagata' prefers partial shade and well-drained, acidic soil, and is hardy in USDA zones 5-8. Its small size, unique growth habit, and vibrant fall color make it a popular choice for use in Japanese-style gardens, as a focal point or accent plant in a mixed border, or as a low-growing hedge or border plant.
