If you are wanting to plant a spring interest tree that has an almost flowering effect with its foliage, this is the tree for you.

This spring color matures to a bright yellow-green, then to a medium green for the summer. Fall color on 'Ueno yama' is a bright orange to red. 'Ueno yama' forms a mid-sized upright tree reaching 8-12 ft in 10 years.

"Ueno" is a park in Tokyo that was built on a hill often referred to as "Ueno yama" or "Ueno Mountain". This park has been a place of celebrating Japanese culture, especially through the blossoms of the flowering cherry trees that reside at Shinobazu Pond and the main pathway for the park. Because of the spring blooming appearance described above, it is our best guess this is why this name was chosen. According to Yano's Book for Maples, this maple was first recorded in Shizen to Bonsai.
