Steve, if true to name, you've got yourself a unique one there!! Everything about this cultivar is slightly unusual - it's a dissectum that verges on matsumurae; it wants to grow upright yet has pendulous branching; and its coloring is extremely variable including that it tends to produce different coloring in clumps. One portion may be all pink, another a darker, almost purple and yet another with some slight white variegation. But ALL leaves should be showing a green base unless in full fall color.

I have not grown this one personally but my experience with other white variegated JMs is that the white variegation is most distinct when grown in lots of shade. In much sun, the plant just boosts up its anthocyanins to protect against scorch.

The bigger question is is your plant true to name? I can't be certain but it's questionable......the habit is off and I don't really see any variegation. Maybe just a touch on the left hand side of the July shot. But please don't take my word for it :-) As I said, I have not grown this cultivar personally so its actual appearance in the ground may be even more unique than described.

Thanks for your helpful comments. I think it is true to name, just showing climactic variation. According to Mr. Maple, "This laceleaf cultivar leaves out in the early spring as
bright red with hot pink variegation. As the season progress's this
lovely tree's red color deepens in full sun. In more shaded areas 'Hana
matoi' will green up and show a combination of white and pink
variegation." It's early spring here and showing bright red w/ hot pink. Pictures do not do it justice perhaps I'll try another.

The July pic has a pink second flush on top. The other leaves are a bronzey, green w/ some red in the sun on the right (not showing variegation in sun) and showing the green with pink and white variegation on the shadier parts underneath the pink. Hard to tell with the crappy picture, but my larger one (and memory) is a little more clear.

Here's a new pic from a shady day (today). You can see the green base dominated by the early spring red and some of the variegation.

That leaves the growth habit, described as a "cascading umbrella". Mine is more of a cascading reaching for the sun shape. Maybe the scion was from a very horizontal shoot and its still working on growing up into the umbrella. (but why would it grow up and then cascade. Seems like a high graft on a standard might produce that. Orrrrrr . . . , I think I should have staked up the thick branch growing to the right when I planted it to give me the umbrella shape. Wonder if it's too late?

But it was underneath a gangly panicled Hydrangea at the time which has since been whacked way back leaving this in more sunshine, at least until later in the spring, when the high Oak canopy leafs out and the sun is more overhead.

Steve, I don’t totally understand what you are talking about above.....🙄

But I like the shape of the tree as is. :-)
