Acer buergerianum 'Wako Nishiki' - Variegated Trident Maple

Wako indeed! This fascinating trident maple rates way up there on the weird meter. As you’ll see, the dainty, three-lobed leaves emerge in spring ghostly-white….so white you’ll wonder how it manages to survive. Fortunately, green slowly materializes throughout the season as each leaf transforms to lime-green by mid summer. Fall pushes the green away again making way for respectable reds and oranges! Plants are moderate growers gaining 6-8” annually. Some shade, especially in spring, is best.
