Acer campestre 'Pulverulentum'

Incredible variegation looks like someone took a can of spray paint to the leaves. A shrub tree to about 8 feet. Needs the shade. Really brightens up a shady area nicely.

 

Here are a few pictures of a mature 'Pulverulentum'. It is wider than high. There is a small amount of reversion which should be pruned out but it is generally trouble free. Late afternoon light and deep shade the rest of the time is enough to sustain it here.

My young 'Pulverlentum' today

 

'Pulverlentum' is starting to put on yellow

 

Maybe I need to put this one in the ground for a few years to get it look like @emery tree lol.

 

Looking good, D. I got a couple of grafts to hit this year, popped out looking like the original, and very vigorous. Make me wonder if there might be a few versions around.

But I also grafted 'Postelense', which kind of sulks in the ground, and the young graft is going like gangbusters. So maybe it's understock vigor? Who knows, too many variables!

 

I took some pics of 'Pulverulentum' along with the others. Starting with one of the grafts, then the plant as of today. Cheers, -E

 

That's nice! Do you how long it's been in the ground?

 

I do! 20 years this year, planted 2006.
