Acer Palmatum 'Ukigumo'

Acer palmatum 'Ukigumo'. Photographed yesterday, 30 Sept 2016. The colour difference now, from when I bought it earlier this year is briliant. Gone is the white/cream with green markings, and it is turning a dark pink-red colour with green markings. The red/crimson stems are now more pronounced. So, so happy I bought this 😇 - despite the cost at the time!!! 😬 #acer #ukigumo #autumncolour #red #green #happygardener

Lovely colour and marking 🍁🍂

Can't wait til mine arrives! 🤗 Planning it in to my new space!

That's gorgeous 💗

Fabulous tree 💛💛💛

My Acer palmatum 'Ukigumo', which I bought earlier this year. Colour has been changing slowly from almost white foliage with light pink & green flecks in Spring, and Summer bringing in a slightly more pink tinge to the leaves with deeper pink & green flecks. Autumn is causing a change in colour again with the pink tinges starting to turn more russet, the remaining white parts taking on a pink hue - green flecks still there tho. Over the next few weeks to late Autumn, the foliage will become a

Morning David that's fab

Morning! I think this is the one I've got arriving in November! 😊

Beautiful love this time of year for the acer's 👍💛

@tina Thanks. It is lovely, but needs a bit of protection over Winter. Supposed to be hardy to H4, but where I am in the East of Scotland is classed as H7+, as we have been down to temps as low as -18°c (if not lower)!!! 😉 Looking forward to the bright red foliage of this Acer, as we progress through Autumn 😀

@beckers1974 If you look at my plants list, you'll see a pic of this Acer from when I got it in Spring this year. Was beautiful & looked almost white! Def worth having as so different 😀 Looking forward to the bright red foliage, hopefully developing, as we go thru the Autumn season 😀

@pauline33 I love this time of year too! I've a good collection of over a dozen different Acers here a Reedie Cottage Gardens, and they are all different. I love the different growing habits & the different foliage, but one thing in common, is that they all give superb Autumn colours!!! 😀

It's definitely this one! Just checked. Tis the reason I got it - so unusual - not that I'm sure I've got the space for it - might have to sacrifice something - like my whirly! 😂 At least my MASSIVE broom shrub can be used to hang light washing on, it takes up all that room and does nothing for 11 months of the year! 😂👕👖👙

Acer palmatum 'Ukigumo' - new acquisition to my garden. Acer 'Ukigumo', also known as the floating clouds maple, is one of the most striking and beautiful variegated Japanese maples. The foliage emerges in spring brilliant white, blushed pink and green. Later in the season it turns into a pastel green and white cloud with a touch of delicate pink on the tips. I had to really save up for this shrub/tree!!!

That's gawjus and cant wait to see the colours change 👌
