Hessei Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum 'Hessei'
Overview
The Hessei Japanese Maple is an amazing specimen with its dazzling foliage and finely cut segments which are divided into small, star-shaped lobes. The exquisite leaves range in hues from bright chartreuse to shimmering greens while turning fiery oranges and scarlets come autumn. Its petite size and low-maintenance needs make it ideal for the garden or home. No pruning is required and its corkscrew form adds a unique texture to any garden. Hessei's shade tolerance and overall hardiness allow it to thrive in nearly any environment, providing stunning foliage of green, yellow and orange all season long.
