Acer palmatum 'Pixie' is an enchanted spectacle of color and charm, more commonly known as the Pixie Japanese Maple. This dwarf variety, compact and stunning, sets the aesthetic potential of any garden alight with its vibrant, transitioning palette running warm hues of red to purple-red to a fiery orange-red from spring through autumn.
