7/11/08. 'Another of the 'sand dusted' variegates, basically bright green, but sprinkled with tiny yellow dots that are sometimes distinct and sometimes merge to form yellow areas. It will grow eventually to 6 or 8' tall and nearly as wide.' The new growth is very nice - I like the lemony colors. The 'sand-dusting' variegation stands out. Very pretty. Mine doesn't show a lot of variegation in the mature leaves, just a bit in the third picture. You can also see a little hitchiker if you look close. Baby grasshopper. They lose their cuteness when they start chewing holes in the leaves of your maples!
