Acer palmatum 'Samidare' Japanese Maple Cryptomeria This blue-green foliage with silverAcer palmatum 'Samidare' Exceptional Fall Color Japanese Maple Zones 5 9 'Samidare' is perhaps one of the closest selections to Acer amoenum in the wild in Japan.

'Samidare' does just that with grace and sophistication. This makes 'Samidare' a great tree for the garden,
