Ibo Nishiki - Palmatum - green - This cultivar is probably best known<br />

for its very rough wart-like bark. It will develop on a specimen of 3 years<br />

of age and older. It developes a lentil-shaped rough brown bark that is<br />

stacked up in groups. It remains separated for many years and finally<br />

does come toge<strong>the</strong>r which also includes areas of green intermediate bark.<br />

The upright growing canopy nicely parades typical palmatum type<br />

leaves of 5-lobes separated two-thirds of <strong>the</strong> way to <strong>the</strong> leaf base. The<br />

lobes are long-ovate with sharply too<strong>the</strong>d margins. The green leaf color<br />

of spring /summer gradually changes to yellow-orange and to suffused<br />

dark red of fall. A great specimen for <strong>the</strong> garden. (13’- 20’) Sun or part<br />

leaves mature into a purplish-brown randomly sprinkled with irregular<br />

green spots resembling sand-sprinkles. From late summer into fall, leaf<br />

color evolves to a brilliant red with <strong>the</strong> midriff always a contrasting<br />

green. (13’- 20’) Sun &/or part shade. 3’- 4’ $75.00<br />
