Acer palmatum 'Manyo no sato' Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum 'Manyo no sato'
Chartreuse Variegated Japanese Maple
Zones 5-9
'Manyo no sato' is an introduction of Japanese maple that was introduced in Japan in 1993 and made popular by Yutaka Tunaka at Tsukasa Maple in Tokyo-to. It is a photographer's delight to photograph this beauty and I'm sure it will be your most popular photos on Instagram. 'Manyo no sato' leafs out in the early spring as a darker purple red with chartreuse variegation. The purple red color fades to a mauve red, then to a green in full sun during the summer in the south. 'Manyo no sato' turns to bright orange to red in the autumn. 'Manyo no sato' means "The Village of a 1,000 Leafs". 'Manyo no sato' may reach 8 ft tall by 6 ft wide in 10 years. Better act fast before they are gone!

This beautiful tree is a hypnotic vixen in the garden. It has an unworldly power that puts mere mortals into a trance. Some days I must avoid its gaze or I’ll be transfixed by the psychedelic variegation that will grip me in a trance, loosing all sense of time and space, lost in nostalgia, questioning life decisions, mourning loves lost and ones place in an ever expanding universe - searching for meaning to human existence. Other days, I just think, “That is one damn good looking tree, I better run before it sucks out my soul again”. Other than that minor detail, easy to grow, variegation holds strong the entire season. Own it before it owns you!
I don't typically write reviews about recent purchases because I think it takes 3 growing seasons to evaluate a 1-gallon plant. I am making an exception for the Manyo no sato that I recently received. When I opened the box, I was immediately struck by its unique colors and variegation. I think this one is going to be a favorite!
