Palmatum Group

Hardiness Zone (for guidance only):

東北七変化, Tōhoku-shichi-henge, means literally "The Seven Transformations of Tōhoku." But Tōhoku, the large Northeastern portion of Honshu, Japan's largest island is actually the source of this maple, which echoes the name of the well-known cultivar 'Shichi-henge'. In this sense, it most likely means "A version on 'Shichi-henge' from Tōhoku." The Checklist 1st ed. incorrectly omitted the macron over the 'o' in Tōhoku. (ED)
