Acer palmatum 'Kinshi', or the Kinshi Japanese Maple Tree, is a graceful ornamental tree prized for its delicate, thread-like foliage and ever-changing seasonal colour. With fine, golden-green leaves that emerge in spring and a compact, upright habit, this variety is ideal for small gardens, patios, and containers. Come autumn, the foliage ignites into rich shades of orange and gold, creating a striking focal point.
