Another nice selection from the now defunct Red Maple Nursery of Media Pennsylvania. An internet search turned up and old price list from 1993-1994 which listed (gulp) 521 different kinds of Acer palmatum! The leaves of this particular one have that neat "spidery" look, which helps set it apart from the many hundreds of it's dissected palmate leafed relatives.
