Acer palmatum dissectum atropurpureum
"Pink Filigree"
It is a hybrid obtained by crossing the 'Ornatum' and
'Stella Rossa' varieties.
The basic colour, unchanged, is bronze- red reminiscent of the typical
'Ornatum' Spring colouring. The new strong buds stand high above the rest
of the vegetation, in an irregular shape, almost erect at first and then
drooping. Typical is the deep pink colour of the leaves.
This contrast is even more evident on bright sunny days and it produces
quite a spectacular look, very difficult to describe. This sight can be
enjoyed for the whole growing season: Spring and Summer.
The leaves are small, fine and deeply divided and do not burn in direct
sunlight. Of the 'Stella Rossa' typical features it mainly retains the
shape of the leaves. It has the pendulous and wide habit typical of the
dissectum and the mature specimen is roundish and drooping.
