An upright-growing Japanese Maple with a very distinct color. 'Manyo no sato' is truly unique and always popular here at the nursery. The leaves are irregular and strap-like. The spring color is burgundy red with green striping and blotching. The variegation seems to intensify during the late spring and early summer. The fall color is fantastic orange and red. A wonderful choice for 3-season color! Introduced by Yutaka Tunaka from Japan.
