Acer shirasawanum 'Green snowflake'

This is a real cool wild growing tree. It lives up to its name.

 

In what way? Are their white variegations on a green background? Are the leaves really that tiny, or just unfurling?

 

I have one on order. It's just a green dissected leaf, isn't it. The first dissected shirasawanum? Also dwarf?

As for the growth pattern, it is a bit wild, it grows more laterial. It seems to grow a lot but mine are fresh from the grower and full of food. The leaves are smaller than many shirawanum and have a nice lighter green color. The leaves themselves are dissected and look very similar to a snowflake.

 

I've been considering picking one of these up... Would you recommend it? What do you like/dislike about it? A picture showing the general habit of the tree would be most appreciated, if you are able. :)

Thanks!!!

 

New to me this spring. Purchased and planted in March 2022.

 

In two years that will fill that space @Worldly_Wrangler. A mass of colour every Autumn.

 

Second year with this little one. It's coming alone nicely.
