Acer palmatum 'Oshio Beni'
With its beautiful form and color, Oshio Beni is an outstanding specimen tree: Small-to-medium-sized, deeply lobed leaves are purplish-red throughout the growing season, then turn bright garnet-red in the fall.
Canopy is well branched & can grow slightly wider than the tree height.
