Acer palmatum 'Yama nishiki'
White Reticulated Variegated

"Snow Peak" Japanese Maple

Zones 5-9

'Yama nishiki' is a nice upright white reticulated Japanese maple. The bright white reticulation with green veins give the appearance of snow on mountain peaks, which is where this selection was named. Fall color ranges from orange to red. 'Yama nishiki' may reach 8-10 ft in 10 years.

This style of variegation on 'Yama nishiki' does not revert but is conditional to the environment. Spring weather that is cold and keeps maples leafing out slowly produces the best variegated leaves. Protection from the hot afternoon sun is recommended for best color.

Limited Quantities Available !! As we have over a thousand cultivars of Japanese maples, we often do not have many of each cultivar. We recommend that you buy the Japanese maples you want immediately as we often sell out of certain selections.
