Acer palmatum 'Relish'

Rare Blue Green Variegated Relish Japanese Maple

Zones 5-9

'Relish' in a newer Japanese maple introduction on the market with a unique style of variegation. It leafs out in the early spring showing a light green on green variegation. During mid to late spring, the two color tones of green begin to differentiate themselves as the leaf turns to a blueish green with bright lime green variegation. During mid-summer red tones may appear on the border of the chartreuse green variegation of 'Relish'. Fall colors on this variegated Japanese maple are bright yellows to orange.

Little is known on the full mature size of this variegated Japanese maple selection as it is new on the market. It is estimated to be vase-shaped to 6-8 ft in 10 years. This tree was originally labeled 'Seed Itame' before it was officially named. In the south, when given more protection from the hot afternoon sun this tree displays the largest margins of variegation. 'Relish' is sure to add a little bit of flavor to your yard.
