Acer palmatum 'Ukigumo', is a variegated deciduous tree. The name means "floating cloud" in Japanese, which is also its common name. The leaves are light green and marked in varying degrees of white or pink spots, sometimes merging into large areas. Some leaves are totally white or link pink, which can be brought out through careful light management. In the fall the leaves turn a bright shade of yellows and oranges. This plant is not a rapid grower and needs some protection from the afternoon sun.
