Zone: 4MIKAZUKI CRESCENT MOON JAPANESE MAPLE
Acer palmatum 'Mikazuki', also known as the Crescent Moon Japanese Maple, is a beautiful deciduous tree celebrated for its dramatic 'reticulated' variegation - meaning its leaf veins are a sharply contrasting color from the rest of the leaf. In spring, the narrowly lobed, undulated leaves emerge in a striking shade of bright pink with deep purple or green veining. As summer progresses, the foliage transitions to a soft creamy-white or pale green, while the prominent dark green veins remain distinct.
Mikazuki Japanese Maple thrives in dappled shade or a location with morning sun and afternoon protection, as intense direct sunlight can scorch its delicate variegated leaves. It enjoys rich, well-drained, slightly acidic soil and requires consistent moisture. Do not allow it to dry out completely, especially during the heat of the summer. This medium-sized cultivar typically reached a mature height of 15 feet with a spread of 8 feet, making it a perfect artistic focal point or specimen for small gardens and courtyards.
