Vertrees thought Sharp's Pygmy was an outstanding dwarf, and he was so right. It took a couple years for me to fully appreciate this compact little Japanese maple, but eventually I came around. It's a dense and low-growing tree with green spring color, the new leaves being lighter green. The fall color is bright orange and red, and given the density of the leaves, it's an exciting plant especially when back-lighted.
