The leaves emerge very white making the tree appear as if it's blooming. Over the summer, the leaves take on a bit of green but it's a stunning tree still. Ukigumo means floating clouds and describes the tree well!

Still that ghostly white foliage probably lasts as long or longer as some flowers in the garden so... Love me some cut-leaf emperor oaks & noticed the same leaf difference in the two specimens that you posted about. <br />We'll be listening up this way for the squeals of glee when you see your first oak leaves emerge!outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-67039140649698980242014-04-16T15:40:44.960-07:002014-04-16T15:40:44.960-07:00'Esk Sunset' is a beautiful maple!
