Emmitt's Pumpkin

Wide, hand shaped leaves are the largest of any Japanese maple cultivar. In Spring the leaves emerge a light, bright green with bronze tips. In summer the color is green, then in autumn the leaves turn a pumpkin orange with red tips. The veins are green, offering a nice contrast. This tree will be 12-15 ft tall and the same wide, and will do best with morning sun and afternoon shade, however in mild climates will be fine in all day sun. Plant in well drained soil and give some water weekly. Hardy to zone 5-9
