Hello all, Can someone help me to ID this beautiful maple? Is it Sumi nagashi ? This tree is about 10' tall and 5 ' wide, exposes to full sun in Zone 6A. Thanks, Joe
Joe, That plant looks very content! It seems a little different than a 'Sumi nagashi' that I grow. Pic coming.
Hi Joe, beautiful photo, your leaves look similar to the 'Sumi nagashi' leaves here, other than here basically the 2 basal lobes seem much shorter in comparison to the other leaf lobes. Maybe the growth here is a little more advanced than on your tree . Just guesses, hard to be sure, wondering if it's grafted or possibly cutting grown. Molto bello ! , right alex.
This 'Sumi nagashi' is not grown in full sun. Back here the plants look a lil different as well. The tapering of the lobes is not the same and also as Chimera noted the basal leaves are different, less of a whirl form. No doubt there are several forms of SN.
I already have a Suminagashi, but my best gess is that it could be 'Burgundy lace'. (At less it looks similar to my two BL cultivars) Nelran
i agree with chimera is moltoo bello,si for me is Sumi nagashi,introduced by Angyo nursery in 1930(quote "Maples for the Garden " Timber press) ciao belli!
