Positive Todd_Boland On Jan 12, 2005, Todd_Boland from St. John's, NL (Zone 5b) wrote:

This dwarf maple has the unique habit of having overlapping leaves. This makes this bushy plant appear almost tufted. The spring leaves are yellow-green, green with red tips in summer then yellowish in autumn. It is small enough ( 2 m max) to be used in containers, bonsai or rock gardens.
