Positive Todd_Boland On Dec 27, 2004, Todd_Boland from St. John's, NL (Zone 5b) wrote:

This maple belongs to the Amoenum Group. The moderately-sized leaves emerge reddish, then become green with a red tint. The leaves are irregularly streaked with white to pink sections, rarely the entire leaf. These variegations become yellow-green later in the season. The fall colour is scarlet. While this selection can reach 4 m, it is very slow-growing and has a bushy habit rather than tree-like.
