Acer palmatum 'Miss Piggy'

A medium-growing Japanese maple distinguished by its unusual fasciated growth, which produces distorted, irregular stems and branches. Unlike typical Japanese maples, the buds do not emerge in opposite pairs, but instead develop randomly along the stems, adding to its unique character. The small green leaves emerge in spring with attractive orange highlights. Growth can range from densely branched areas to vigorous, elongated shoots, giving the tree a highly distinctive and unpredictable form. Truly a one-of-a-kind cultivar.
