Acer palmatum 'Tamukeyama'
Tamukeyama is an exception to the rule of thumb with Japanese Maples in that it is an older variety that is making its resurgence because of its ability to hold its burgundy color through hot, humid summers and resist scorching. Serrated leaves.
+ very dwarf variety + Reaches 4' - 5' in 10 years.
Other ornamental features include a deep red bark covered with a white, waxy frosting. Also works well as a container plant.
*Rarely Damaged by Deer*
