Acer palmatum ‘Manyo no Sato’ – Rare Variegated Japanese Maple | Chartreuse & Red Foliage | #1 Container Plant

Bring extraordinary color and rare collector appeal to your landscape with this live Acer palmatum ‘Manyo no Sato’, a stunning variegated Japanese maple admired for its dramatic foliage and elegant seasonal transformations. Introduced in Japan in 1993, the name translates to “The Village of a Thousand Leafs,” perfectly reflecting this tree’s layered and ever-changing color display. In spring, deeply colored purple-red leaves emerge accented with vivid chartreuse variegation, creating an eye-catching contrast unlike traditional Japanese maples. Through summer, the foliage matures into rich mauve-red tones before softening toward green in stronger sunlight. Autumn brings a spectacular finale as the leaves ignite into glowing shades of orange and fiery red. Compact and upright in habit, ‘Manyo no Sato’ reaches approximately 8 feet tall and 6 feet wide in 10 years, making it an excellent choice for collector gardens, patios, borders, Japanese-inspired landscapes, and decorative containers while young.
