  • Posted by Bonehead (Planet Earth - Zone 8b) on Jul 15, 2017 9:54 AM concerning plant:
    This is a cross between a Japanese maple (Acer palmatum) and Korean maple (A. pseudosieboldianum), bred by Isili Nursery to withstand colder winters, and is hardy to Zone 4. The leaves open up red in spring, fade to bright green in the summer, then burst into brilliant orange in the fall. Definitely a head-turner.
