Acer palmatum 'Tsukushi gata'

Acer palmatum ‘Tsukushi-Gata’, also known as Japanese maple 'Tsukushi-Gata', is an elegant and contrasting variety, cultivated for its purple foliage with distinctly marked light green veins, which gives it a unique graphic presence. In spring, its leaves emerge deep red, adorned with almost chartreuse veins, creating a sophisticated two-tone effect. In summer, the foliage darkens slightly while maintaining its contrast, then takes on scarlet red tones in autumn. Its upright and light habit, as well as its airy shape, make it ideal for isolated plantings, refined gardens, or Japanese-themed settings. It prefers fresh, well-drained soil and dappled light to preserve the intensity and subtlety of its colors. ‘Tsukushi-Gata’ is a rare and refined maple, perfect for adding depth, contrast, and movement to a temperate landscape.
