The most likely way this came about (see also the entry for Bicolor Dogwood) is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Horticulturalists often grow red or purple Japanese Maple cultivars by grafting the cultivar branch onto the species&#8217; hardy parent root-stock, the latter\u00a0of course having green leaves. Occasionally new branches might sprout or sucker up from the root-stock (i.e., below the point of grafting) and produce green rather than red leaves. \u00a0Meanwhile the grafted cultivar branches produce the expected red leaves. The result, as seen here, is a spectacular bicolor tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200bAs gorgeous as this plant is during the summer, it might be even more spectacular in the fall. \u00a0Green Japanese Maple leaves turn yellow in the fall, while purple leaves turn red. \u00a0But the tree only changes its colors gradually. Therefore, at just the right time, this plant might have green leaves, yellow leaves, purple leaves and red ones. \u00a0A four-color tree!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The leaves of this amazing species have been popular snacks in Osaka, Japan for more than a thousand years. Typically the leaves are dipped and fried in tempura butter after being stored in barrels of salt for one year (see last photo).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"720\" data-id=\"1103\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lancastercountytrees.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/165B_BicolorMap__JPG.jpg\" alt=\"165b Bicolormap Jpg\" class=\"wp-image-1103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lancastercountytrees.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/165B_BicolorMap__JPG.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.lancastercountytrees.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/165B_BicolorMap__JPG-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"540\" data-id=\"1102\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lancastercountytrees.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/165C_bicolormaple_fried-leaves-snack-_jp.jpg\" alt=\"165c Bicolormaple Fried Leaves Snack Jp\" class=\"wp-image-1102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lancastercountytrees.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/165C_bicolormaple_fried-leaves-snack-_jp.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.lancastercountytrees.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/165C_bicolormaple_fried-leaves-snack-_jp-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lancastercountytrees.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/165C_bicolormaple_fried-leaves-snack-_jp-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.lancastercountytrees.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/165C_bicolormaple_fried-leaves-snack-_jp-420x420.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">Len\u00a0Eiserer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1100,"template":"","tax_tree-categories":[9,11],"acf":{"scientific_name":"Acer palmatum"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Bicolor Japanese Maple - Tree Treasures of Lancaster County<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lancastercountytrees.org\/trees\/bicolor-japanese-maple\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Bicolor Japanese Maple - Tree Treasures of Lancaster County\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This striking specimen has both green and maroon leaves.
