Acer palmatum 'Nuresagi', a stunning mid-sized Japanese maple tree that captivates with its vibrant, year-round color transformation. This exceptional cultivar, known as 'Nuresagi' or "Wet Heron," is celebrated for its magnificent deep purplish-red foliage in spring, maturing into a bold burgundy in summer, and culminating in a brilliant scarlet red in fall. Its name signifies the graceful beauty of a "wet heron," complementing its unique silver pubescence that gives the emerging leaves a striking blue cast against the rich red.

Reaching a height of 8-10 feet and a width of 4 feet in its first decade, 'Nuresagi' is a vigorous grower known for its upright form and narrow spread, ultimately maturing at around 14 feet tall and 7 feet wide. Ideal for zones 5 to 8, this deciduous shrub thrives in various conditions—full sun or part shade. Its low-maintenance nature, coupled with cold hardiness and rabbit resistance, makes it perfect for smaller garden spaces. Best planted in elevated, well-drained, organically rich soils, 'Nuresagi' promises to be a treasured addition to any landscape with its dynamic seasonal hues and exceptional garden versatility. Please note, seedlings cultivated from this variety may exhibit different characteristics from the mother cultivar.
