Acer palmatum 'Oridono-nishiki' missing-image Use a well draining houseCommonly known as the Japanese maple, Acer palmatum has been cultivated in Japan for centuries. Over 1000 cultivars now exist, chosen for their particularly distinct foliage and fairly small root systems, which mean the plants dont become invasive where they are planted. We are a little obsessed with the striking Acer palmatum Oridono nishiki; perky and dense foliage of this variety emerges with a mixture of light green, creamy white, or pale pink.
