Acer palmatum Arakawa
This is an excellent hardy cultivar often used by bonsai folks. It is one off the first and oldest cultivars grown for its beautiful, rough textured bark. it also is a very nicely shaped tree with beautiful leaves. They can't see the leaves for the bark. Simply a great tree that can take sun and fab fall color that last long. I now will put this on my must have list.
