Full Description

The Acer palmatum ‘Higasayama’ is a stunning variegated Japanese maple known for its soft pastel spring foliage that emerges with shades of pink, cream, and light green. The delicate variegation gives the tree an almost watercolor-like appearance, making it a standout specimen in any garden.

As the growing season progresses, the leaves gradually transition to soft green with subtle creamy highlights, maintaining a refined and elegant look throughout summer.
