ACER PALMATUM (JAPANESE MAPLES)
VERIEGATED MAPLES:  These maples can be spectacular in the spring time.  Usually smaller trees with a lot of show.  The veriegated maples like some protection and are ideal for a shady-partially shaded yard.  These are good for a mix of planting or for a small focus area.  Containers are also a good choice as you don't want these to become to large-they will loose their luster with size.  Being smaller in size and good for shade makes it easy to find a spot for a veriegated maple in the yard.
