Acer palmatum 'Kiohime'



2006 (Miyama) I have so many pictures of this one it's ridiculous. When I ordered it the grower said it was a 9 year old tree, so I was psyched. When it arrived, whoever packed it had just thrown it in a box, no packing or anything and about 1/3 of the limbs were broken off, some large. What a waste of a beautiful little tree. Still, it has grown like a weed and looks great. Had the best fall color this year that I've had. Transplanted fall 2010 and in 2011 has grown tremendously, doubled in size even after it was eaten in spring after I had pruned it severely over the winter.
