The Gardener's Notepad
One of the more attractive full sized Maples, with fairly large flowers followed by lush bright chartreuse leaves in Spring. Color generally holds well over Summer, provided that temperatures don't get too terribly high and some protection is given from the intense afternoon sun. Fall color is also quite good.
