I have been growing and propagating 'Orido Nishiki' for more 15 years. It is one of my favorite cultivars. I propagate them from softwood cuttings. This is one of a few cultivars that surived a late freeze in March of 1995. I lost more than 3,000 Japanese maples in 31 cultivars in that late freeze.

This variegated Palmatum Group maple is somewhat similar to the many other variegated selections. New spring leaves emerge pink then change to various combinations of pink, cream, white and green. The amount of variegation varies but this selection will have more colourful leaves on average than other variegated forms. It can reach 5-6 m but also lends itself to container planting where they will remian much smaller in size.
