Rare Incognito Dwarf Japanese Maple Tree

Zones 5-9

 

'Incognito' is neato. It has a tighter denser habit with age, with twisted foliage that is reminiscent of 'Shishigashira' or other plants in the "Lion's Head Family" like 'Taro yama' or 'Angel the Prince'. The new growth in the spring is a light green with bronze highlights, turning to a darker shade of green for the summer. The twisted foliage gives a good texture. The overall habit is upright and compact reaching 6-8 ft in height in 10 years. Fall color on 'Incognito' is a bright fiery red. It is a perfect choice for a small garden, and a great option for those looking for an attractive specimen with minimal care. The foliage and form make 'Incognito' an eye-catching addition to any space.
