I like the deep purple colour of this plant, but I am rather uncertain about its identity. The leaves are too finely dissected, I think.
Once the darkish green of summer fades there is nothing but the crumbling scarlet of autumn.
I think this is a 'dissectum' cultivar sold by mistake, my plant is neither vigorous nor upright. Gordon Harris says: "A beautiful clone which is very hardy and upright growing. The leaves which have seven lobes are outward spreading and purple-red." Mr Maple says: "'Nuresagi' is a beautiful mid-sized upright red Japanese maple tree. The color of Nuresagi in the spring is an amazing deep purplish-red in the spring. The name 'Nuresagi' is Japanese for “wet heron” which describes the buds of this tree as it leafs out in the spring. The growth of this Nuresagi Japanese maple tree can reach 8-10 ft tall by 4 ft wide in 10 years. 'Nuresagi' is a very vigorous and cold hardy Japanese maple tree cultivar that grows well in sun or shade." |
