Kurui Jishi Japanese Maple is a slow growing, vase-shaped tree with a Japanese name that loosely translates to "crazy or confused lion". No doubt, this namesake is derived from the fresh green leaves that are uniquely and uniformly rolled along the margins. This distinctive quality persists through the growing season into fall when the leaves take on rich golden-yellow tones prior to senescence.
