Acer palmatum 'Pung kil'

An upright Japanese maple with linearilobum-type leaves. There are quite a few "Bamboo Leaf" Japanese maples in the trade but 'Punk Kil' has the darkest red color of this group. The spring leaves are black-red softening to lighter bronze-red by late summer. The fall color is red-orange. Named after Mr. Pung Kil of South Korea.
