Acer palmatum 'Orido Nishiki'
Common Name: Orido Nishiki Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum ‘Orido Nishiki’ is a classic variegated Japanese maple admired for its pink, white, and green foliage and refined ornamental character. Spring leaves emerge soft pink with creamy white variegation, often mottled and irregular, creating a delicate, painterly effect. As the season progresses, foliage settles into green leaves splashed and edged with white, while pink tones may reappear on new growth or in cooler conditions. In fall, the foliage turns soft shades of pink, coral, and light red, offering a gentle, elegant autumn display. Leaves are medium-sized with traditional palmate form. The habit is upright and rounded, forming a balanced small tree. ‘Orido Nishiki’ performs best in partial shade, where variegation is brightest and leaf scorch is minimized, and prefers well-drained, evenly moist soil.
