Acer palmatum 'Geisha Gone Wild' web specialWe were looking for A. p. 'Geisha' so we could see how 'wild' she got. We found 'Geisha' in New Zealand to be a pretty pink foliaged cultivar. The 'Gone Wild' version is definately more exciting! It is a small, upright tree the pink leaves having a distinct cream along the edges. Very showy!
