Japanese Maple 'Pixie'
Similar to the popular ‘Bloodgood’ variety, Acer palmatum ‘Pixie’ (Japanese Maple) is a small, upright, deciduous tree with a dense, twiggy canopy. Emerging pink in spring, the deeply cut, 7-lobed leaves gradually change to purple-red in summer before turning bright scarlet in fall. Small green flowers appear in spring nd are followed by winged, red fruit in autumn. Perfect for small gardens and patio containers.
