Acer palmatum 'Peve Starfish' Japanese Maple Zone 9 A very structural tree withWhat a fantastic little tree! Such a character with all that curl and texture. The lobes of each leaf curl inward to form a sharply pointed star creating incredible texture. The spring is bright red changing to deep purple summer, almost black and scarlet red in the fall.
