Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum) 'Japanese Sunrise' is a beautiful cultivar with multiseason interest. 'Japanese Sunrise' has a small, barely noticeable but attractive fringe-like red flower in the spring time, and delicate tapered leaves that turn gold in the fall. The branches and stems are coral and provide winter interest. A sport of 'Sango kaku,' it does best in part shade, as the leaves will scorch with too much direct sunlight.
