A little-known cultivar which has nevertheless been
grown in Japan since the early 1700s, and one can
see why. Leaves open orange-purple with green veins.
They later become dark green, but keep their red
petioles. The tree has a layered habit, and the colorful
new growth layered with the dark green background
give the cultivar its name, which is usually translated
"ruffles", but I think is better translated "ripples". The leaves
are distinctively-shaped, with center lobe being at
right angles to the base, the lobes finely pointed and
toothed. A slow-growing, compact shrub to 15-20'.
