Acer palmatum Beni Sazanami Acer palmatum Kiyohime celebrated for its bold colorBeni Sazanami gets it's name from both the vibrant red color of the leaves and the wave like texture of the leaf edges. Througouth spring the colors will turn to a softer red with a bright green vein. In fall it changes back to a brilliant red color. This tree really surprised me this year. Each time I walked through our nursery, I stoped to have a look at this beauty. It really held its colors well throughout the year. A must have for the collertors
