Common Name: Kamagata Japanese Maple

DWARF, green. One of the most fabulous introductions of all the palmatums, 'Kamagata' is a variety of A. palmatum selected by J. D. Vertrees. It is diminutive and bush-like in growth habit but in an open manner, creating a very small tree with the distinct branching usually found only on upright tree forms. Add to this green leaves with red margined detail. Though a dwarf cultivar, it grows vigorously when young. It's tolerant of full sun and dry conditions. Spectacular orange-red leaves in autumn. Excellent for bonsai.
